Hola,

Iowa in 1977 with a B.A. in Spanish and received my M.A. in 1997. I was selected as a McElroy Gold Star

intertwines with my professional interests. I am a member of NEA (National Education
Association), ISEA (Iowa State Education Association), DEA (Dunkerton Education Association), IWLA (Iowa World Language Association) and Sigma Delta Pi (National
Spanish Honor Society). I have served on several committees for the DEA and presented
at IWLA conferences. My husband Randy and I live in Cedar Falls with our cats Sam & Sasha.

many aspects of the Spanish language including communicative skills (listening and speaking), oral and reading comprehension,
writing skills, geography of the Spanish-speaking world, history, and culture. Learning grammar rules and building vocabulary are extremely
important during each year of language instruction. Objectives Students
