¡Bienvenidos!

HOLA. I have taught Spanish at MiraCosta full-time since 1990 and started as a part-timer in 1984. I was also a student at MiraCosta, returning to study Spanish after obtaining a B.A. in English Literature from U.C.Davis. After studying at MiraCosta for three years, I went to U.C.S.D. to get my M.A. and C.Ph. in Spanish Literature. I first learned Spanish by watching "novelas" (soap operas) on the television. For many years I took student groups to Mexico and to Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

I love to travel to Mexico and Spain. My oldest son is married to a Spaniard. They live in Madrid. Both my sons are writers . My husband is also a writer. He and I are very interested in contemporary Oaxacan painting. We often travel to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Mexico, and to Madrid, Spain.
