Before coming to Oshkosh, she was the bilingual coordinator at Alverno College in Milwaukee for eleven years and a second/third grade bilingual teacher at Bruce Guadalupe Community School and the Milwaukee Public Schools prior to the Alverno experience. Dr. Kathy has studied bilingual education in Mexico, Panama, and Costa Rica. During an upcoming sabbatical, she plans to study trilingualism in Spain and Argentina. Every other summer she takes a group of students to the Universidad de las Americas in Puebla, Mexico. The next trip will be summer '09. Let her know if you are interested in participating.

Currently she is working with Gegan Elementary School in Menasha and Hayes Bilingual School in Milwaukee. Favorite Author: Isabel Allende.
