Jamir's Program
I'm a recent grad from the University of Virginia and I teach high school Spanish! Usually I have dog hair stuck to my clothes. I love travelling, taking photos, languages, reading, and--of course--movies and music. Before travelling to the Dominican Republic, my first time leaving North America was for my study abroad trip to Costa Rica. Hispanohablante cultures fascinate me and I am looking forward to learning and experiencing even more.
