Meet Our Professors!
If you could be an animal, what would you be?
I'd be a bird because I love heights, feeling free, seeing everything from high above, and feeling the wind in my face...
If you could be a color, what color would you be?
I'd love to be turquoise. For me, turquoise represents energy, vitality, life.
If you were granted three wishes, what would you ask for?
I honestly wouldn’t make three wishes, I'd settle for one. I would love to have six month sabbatical to take a trip to Brazil and Argentina, to visit the whole region. I’d like a month to myself, a month to spend with family, and three months to do things I never do, like meet friends, go for a leisurely walk... and, yes, if I’m wishing for things, I’d like a pile of money!
What is your most cherished possession?
If I could keep two things with me they’d be: my grandmother's earrings and my aunt’s necklace. Sometimes even I use them as good luck charms.
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
There is no perfect happiness, just moments of happiness. They may be little things; spending time with friends, laughing with coworkers, a walk in the mountains… Those little things are what make moments of immense happiness.
What is your favorite dish to cook?
My meat lasagna isn’t terrible. Every time I bring it to the table, my family says "hats off to the chef!" or "Ole!" and I say, "Thank you!"
What is your life motto?
My father taught me to take things one step at a time. So often we pile all our problems together until they seem endless but it’s much easier to solve one at a time.
What do you like about teaching Spanish?
I really enjoy my work; I love teaching Spanish because it gives me the opportunity to work with people of all different ages, cultures, mentalities, and it enriches my life endlessly!
