Bio
I am originally from a little town northeast of Madrid, but my professional life has mostly taken place in Madrid. I studied Spanish (Filología hispánica) at the Universidad de Alcalá, one of the oldest universities in Spain (dating from the late 15th century), which is where I first came in contact with study abroad. When I finished the B.A., I started doctoral studies with a focus on teaching Spanish as a foreign language. I’ve taught all different levels of Spanish for many years, and I love teaching Spanish to U.S. students because of how rewarding it is to see students improve their Spanish on a daily basis. One of my goals is that students understand what’s going on around them in a foreign language. Since 2005, I’ve been the supervisor of the Spanish Department and Internship Program at Syracuse Madrid, and I’m available for any questions or concerns that you may have about these two programs.
