Jessica's Programs
Hello, my name is Jessie! I'm from Kalamazoo, Michigan, but currently reside in Madrid, Spain. After graduating from college, I spent 3 years working as a high-school Spanish teacher in Baltimore, Maryland while I completed my Master's degree. The very next school year I moved to Madrid to work as an English-language teaching assistant and will soon be going into my third year in this position. In the past, I have worked as a Language and Culture Program Leader in Valparaíso, Chile multiple times, and this year I will be reprising that same position in Madrid, Spain.
