Learning a new language is a topic that is close to my heart. My interest in the beauty of words, interacting with different cultures, studying linguistics, and the art of writing has taken me on a unique career path. Since I spent years learning Spanish, my personal and professional life have been changed for the better. By being bilingual, I’ve had access to different cultures, expanded my career opportunities, and have been able to use my second language in various situations as needed.

When I was in middle school, I remember registering for my first Spanish 101 class. As a native English speaker, I was excited about learning a new language. My community had a significant mix of English and Spanish speakers, and I wanted to learn to speak and understand Spanish – while immersing myself in different cultures around me. I was fascinated to see how multilingual speakers could jump back and forth from one language to another without a blip in communication.
