I have been a Spanish and English language instructor in Santa Cruz County since 2011 and I love working with students of all language levels.

I earned a master's in Spanish language and culture from the Universidad de Salamanca in Spain and a master's in bilingual and bicultural education from UCSC. I also hold a Ph.D. in educational research in applied linguistics from the Universidad Panamericano de Estudios Superiores in Mexico.

My doctoral research investigated a pluri-dialectal approach to teaching Spanish as an additional language. My wife and I live in Felton, and I am a dual national of Spain and the United States.
