Background

I was born in Spain and received an M.A. in Philology from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, as well as an M.A. in Pedagogy from the Universidad de Cantabria, Spain.

After graduating with my M.A. in Philology, I lived 15 years in Germany where I taught Spanish at the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences, as well as at the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg.

During these years in Germany, I was also working at Ernst Klett Publishing House in Stuttgart. With more than 17 years as an author of didactic materials for Spanish as a foreign language for high school and university students, it is without a doubt that my editorial work has helped nourish my educational outlook and strengthened my creative, innovative, and resourceful skills.

I come to Davidson College after teaching Spanish during 25 years in multiple countries such as Spain, Germany, USA, and Hungary. This has gifted me a personal respect and understanding for diversity and interculturality.
