Greetings! I am a down-to-earth person, who loves getting to know new people. I can be quite spontaneous at times, but I am also interested in deep conversations and sharing life experiences. It would be great to share stories and future aspirations. At the moment, I am a DC Teaching Fellow with an end goal of being a Spanish teacher. On my free time, I do freelance research for a Spanish think tank.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Mexico, climbing the top of a high and scary cactus filled mountain in daylight, turning around to see no bottom and going down by the light of the full moon.

In Segovia, making it to the top of a Spanish castle, which Disney used to model Sleeping Beauty's castle and viewing one of the Knight's Templar church amongst the countryside.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Since I used to be a German teacher, it would be great to help people who would like to learn German. Also, I would love to teach people other skills such as piano, beginning guitar, and dancing!

Learn: It would be great to meet people who share the love of dance and music!
