About Me Grew up in northern New Jersey, went to college in Chicago (majored in Spanish, minored in Latin American Studies). I've been teaching English in Spain for about two years now and I love it! I love indie music, Pedro Almodóvar films, speaking Spanish, travelling, reading, and wine tastings.
