NTPRS 2019 will be conference # 10 for me. I've been coming since 2008 in Minneapolis. My current teaching focus is conversational Spanish for adults. I also have experience in teaching it at all other levels from preschool to college-age.In addition, I am also a certified medical interpreter for Spanish. I do most of my business from home on the telephone to points all over the country. In addition to health care, I also interpret in banking, insurance, public utilities and just about anything else involving public contact. Teachers, I'm always glad to chat with you for insight on where your students might ultimately be applying what they learn in your classroom. Before getting into what I do now, I served as a missionary in both Spain and Mexico.In addition to language and culture stuff, I also enjoy writing, bicycling and travel,
