My name is Maria Licia and I would like to welcome you to our FIG! I am from Bolivia, but I live in Eugene more than 17 years. I love Oregon, a beautiful place that now I call my home.
I have been teaching Spanish at the University of Oregon since Fall 2012. I absolutely love teaching Spanish, and one of the most rewarding moments is when my students begin expressing themselves in Spanish and share their interests, experiences and dreams. I believe that learning another language opens a door to a world of possibilities for personal and academic growth.
In this FIG we will engage with various forms of art created by Spanish speakers, to find connections with the Spanish-speaking world right here in Eugene. In this beautiful city I love walking with my husband by the river, reading, swimming, exploring Oregon and writing short stories whenever I take a writing workshop. Also, I enjoy cooking and experimenting in the kitchen.
It is truly a privilege to work alongside our FAs, and to be a part of your journey at the UO.
Hi! I am Oliver I'm from Minneapolis, Minnesota and I am a Global Studies major with an interest in Spanish. I enjoy playing sports, spending time with friends, and writing short stories. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone.e.
