I was born and raised in Boulder, Colorado. I grew up speaking Spanish at home and traveling to Mexico every summer to visit my mother's family. After I graduated from high school l spent a year living in Aix-les-Bains, France where I lived with three different French families and studied at a public high school. While in college at the University of Colorado I spent a semester in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. I received my bachelor's of arts degree in French and Spanish from the University of Colorado in 1996 and then moved to Ithaca, NY. I lived there for five years while I completed my graduate studies at Cornell University. I began teaching at Furman University in 2001.
