About

Hey let's get this small talk stuff out of the way, I'm Alex.  I've been born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana USA.  I graduated from Ball State University (chirp chirp if you will) in May of 2019 majoring in both Spanish Linguistics and Human Resource Management.  Whilst at Ball State, I wasn't.  I took a semester to study abroad in Granada, España.  This was my first time immersed in a Spanish community giving me confidence to use what I know.  At Ball State I also took some classes about teaching English as a second language.  This peaked my interest in Spain as well as teaching English.  After graduating I returned to Spain through the Auxiliar program and to work as an Auxiliar de Conversación.

​

Currently I am I am a dual language immersion teacher, spending my days teaching Spanish, science, and math through the Spanish language.  I have obtained my Indiana Teaching License and TENL License through course work at Purdue Fort Wayne.  During my time here I have become very language focused.  I had the opportunity to attend several conferences and present at one during these last three years.  I consider myself oriented to making a significant impact on the lives of the students that I work with in and out of the classroom.  I am always eager to apply the experience and skills that I have obtained throughout my education at Ball State, life events, and career to the environment that I am in.
