MariaElena's Program
Hi everybody! My name is MariaElena and I am currently working as an Auxiliar teacher in Madrid. I am a recent graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. While I was there I studied speech pathology, creative writing and media production. In my free time I love taking film pictures, visiting art museums and listening to new music. I’m so excited to make Madrid my home and explore all it has to offer.
Follow along for tips, tricks and lots of pictures!
All my love!! MEK
