Welcome to my home page!  I have lived in Cattaraugus County for the majority of my life and my family is also from this area.  I attended Nazareth College of Rochester for my undergrad work and Grand Canyon University for my graduate degree.  I have taught in two very diverse school districts before teaching at Hinsdale, one in Newport News, VA (for 3 years) and the other in Portville, NY (for 5 years).  I have taught all levels of high school and middle school Spanish and my speciality is Advanced Spanish Literature.  I enjoy teaching because the kids continually amaze me with their intelligence, creativity, and heart.  I have been teaching the entire foreign language department at Hinsdale Central School since 2016.  If you need to contact me, the best way is through e-mail
