About Jonathon

I am a current doctoral student with a passion for teaching and helping others succeed. My desire for learning new languages led me to study abroad in Spain as an undergraduate. During that time, I lived with a host family and immersed myself in the Spanish culture. My unique experience of studying abroad for an entire year afforded me the opportunity to teach and work alongside basic/intermediate students. Following my year abroad I earned my minor in Spanish Language and moved to Miami to purse a doctoral degree in Audiology. My clinical experience as a graduate student has allowed me to hone my Spanish speaking skills by communicating with my native Spanish speaking patients daily. As a non-native speaker, I know the struggles and difficulties my students will face and am able to help guide them through this learning process and teach them to persevere. I have personally seen the value of bilingual education, and I want to inspire students to acquire this invaluable skill!!
