I'm Brandy Wells, and I will be the Language and Culture Assistant here for the 2016-2017 school year! I am 25 years old and from Knoxville, Tennessee, USA. I graduated from the University of Tennessee in 2014 with a degree in Spanish and International Business, and a minor in Africana Studies. During my education I was able to study abroad in Barcelona for one semester, and San José, Costa Rica for 5 weeks! Since graduating I have spent time traveling, teaching preschool (ages 2-5) and enjoying life in the states. In my free time I enjoy exercising, traveling, writing, and finding ways of improving my Spanish! I received my TEFL certification last autumn, and decided to apply to the Auxiliar program here in Spain. I was thrilled to receive my placement at CEIP Maestra Isabel Álvarez here in Sevilla, and I am so excited to spend the year working at such a lovely school.
My first week at the school was spent observing my new classes, getting to know students and teachers, and introducing myself to everyone. During my second week I did a presentation (below) to my classes to show them a little bit about my home through the five senses (sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch). We talked about what we saw in the pictures, and how my city compares to Sevilla! Thank you for welcoming me into your community, and I look forward to spending the year learning and growing with you all!
