“¡Hola! My name is Lina Malagón. I am from Bogotá, Colombia. I have a bachelor’s degree in modern languages and a master’s degree in ELT and autonomous learning environments. In Colombia, I worked as an English and natural science teacher in schools. Moreover, I was in charge of the foreign languages area of the school. I am excited to be part of this fantastic and beautiful college because I am sharing my culture and teaching my language. I am also grateful to have the opportunity to study abroad and learn from you all. I am an easy-going and respectful person. I like traveling, dancing, music, and learning languages.

“¡Hola! My name is Itzel Rodriguez, and I’m from Michoacán, located in Western Mexico, which is such a beautiful and calm estate known because of its local candies, ‘carnitas’ (local food), and beautiful views. I have a degree in industrial engineering, and now I’m doing a Master of Education degree while teaching Spanish at Carthage. I speak Spanish, which is my native language, English, and very basic Korean. I love music, movies, reading, and talking with people from different cultures. My love for languages and cultures has been with me since I was a kid, so I am looking forward to an exhilarating time in Carthage. I hope we all can have a great time sharing our cultures and supporting each other. ¡Adiós!”

Prior to joining Carthage, I majored in English language teaching, and in 2021, I won the Fulbright Scholarship to be a foreign language teaching assistant of Spanish at the University of Arkansas at Monticello for a year. I’m currently pursuing a Master of Education at Carthage. I’m fueled by a love for travel, meeting new people, and sampling diverse cuisines. I’m eagerly looking forward to my journey at Carthage, and I am excited to show you the magic of Spanish and the vibrant Mexican culture. See you all in the classroom!”
