Spanish language and culture is a passion of mine, and has been since 9th grade and my first Spanish class. I have been to Venezuela and Honduras many times, and got my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Literature from Georgia State University. I would be delighted to share my secrets of learning this exotic language and culture, along with all the other subjects that I mastered along the way - see the subjects in which I am certified by WyzAnt.

My teacher for Anthropology in college was a Christian Archaeologist, and the slides he showed us of his... Read More

Cosmetology

I was very interested in cosmetology in my latter high school years, but chose the modeling route instead.

For example, on two sides, I have relatives who were in the Revolutionary War, also on two sides I have relatives who were in World War I, World War II, and Korea. I have a relative who was a past VP of the United States. Also, being that I lived in Venezuela for a year, and studied Spanish in college, I have studied... Read More
