Background:
I have lived in Colorado my whole life. I am the oldest of eight children (five girls and three boys), who all are from the same parents. I work full time, take a full semester load at Metro State and love to go four wheeling, play soccer, Frisbee and board games, as well as spend time with my girlfriend. I have been studying Spanish since the sixth grade at Littleton Academy, where Señora Melin ignited my love for it. My passion for Spanish was encouraged and secured through the teaching of a wonderful educator, Señora Susan Truitt at Heritage High School, and now I gain incredible knowledge and information from the Modern Languages faculty at Metro State. I am a member of La sociedad honoraria hispánica and El Club Quixote de MSCD.
