  • HOW DID YOU FIRST BECOME INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH U.S. COLLEGE STUDENTS?
  • I went to the U.S. to teach Spanish and Chilean culture to college students with the intention of improving my English. I barely practiced the language because I was teaching Spanish and having conversations in classes all day. However, I had such a wonderful experience and such a great connection with the students that it was all worth it.
