How Has Spanish Played a Role in Your Personal and Professional Life? |
I am a native Spanish speaker. Early on in my academic career I made the choice to further my studies in Spanish not knowing that this choice would lead to the professional opportunities that I experienced until now. I am happy that I can not only continue to use and teach my native language but that I can continue to encourage others to learn it as a second language or reinforce their knowledge when working with heritage students.
