About Me

My photo
Hi, my name is Margaret Wells and I am currently a senior at Nazareth College. I am a Spanish and Adolescent Education major with a minor in Psychology. I first became interested in Spanish because my oldest sister is a Spanish teacher. I am excited to one day have a class of my own. I studied abroad in Valencia, Spain in the fall of 2009. I learned so much from my experience and hope to carry it on one day in a middle or high school spanish class!
