After eight years,teaching at the university and with two beautiful daughters, I thought it was time to move on to another academic institution and got a job a Binatiomal center where English and Spanish are thought. This institution is affiliated to the American Embassy and Washington. Six years later I became the academic director position that i still have at the moment. Through the State department I went back to USA as an acadmisc specilist to work in educatinal branch of the state department and also to visit 15 universities to learn about their programs. I have presented workshops and I have trained teachers in 20 different countries and throughout USA.
At this moment and after being divrced for 5 years, I'm studying for another Masters degree at SIT in Brattleboro,
Vermont. I truly want to thank each and everyone of you my classmates, the teaching staff and the administration for loving me the way you did. 'I had so much fun in and out of class"
