  Since I was very young, I've shown a strong interest towards learning different languages. I had started learning spanish in high school and then continued on for four years in college, with a total of six years learning. I'm also very interested in traveling and would love to combine traveling and my love for the language of spanish someday soon. I hope to travel to Europe in the next two years to learn about different cultures, languages, and people. 

  I hope to achieve better communication and speaking skills in spanish. I'm working towards becoming fluent so that I can begin learning a new language. 

  If qualified, I'd definitely love to help with the course organization!

  I'm from a small town in Pennsylvania, but recently I've moved to Charlotte to begin my Masters program in Organization Development at Queens University of Charlotte. My background in spanish is not long-term as I had started learning the language in high school, however, my interest continued to grow and over the years, I've made a lot of spanish-speaking friends who have helped grow my love for the language. I've never been out of the country, but I plan on it as soon as I'm able to!
