Hola, herzlich willkommen, and greetings to everyone :) For as long as I can remember I've been fascinated by languages and cultures, and I consider myself lucky to have had various jobs in my career as an educator. Before joining the Academic Advising team at the College of Arts & Sciences here at the University of Kentucky (UK), I was a business English lecturer, profesor de español, mentor teacher, and yoga instructor in addition to several other exciting positions and roles.

Outside of work I am an avid solar cook, meditation practitioner, tennis fan/player (and former high school coach), sometimes gaymer, frequent traveler, and lifelong learner.
