"I place great value on the legacy that Spanish culture has to offer to the world in general and to Americans in particular. I also value the close relationship between teacher and pupil at Wells, and the freedom to teach in the areas that I am passionate about. Knowing Spanish is becoming an essential tool for American students.”
