¡Hola!  I'm Maestra Emily, Kindergarten - 4th Grade Spanish Teacher.  I've been teaching at AES as a Spanish teacher since 2001.  Originally from Ohio, I acquired Spanish through my degree coursework at Ohio State University and living abroad in Costa Rica, Spain and Chile.  I came to Colorado to pursue a teaching certification and M.A. at the University of Denver.   Upon graduation, I taught 4th grade for a year in the Denver area.  After that, I came to this wonderful community!  I really enjoy teaching, traveling, being outdoors, and spending time with my family.
