My name is Jodi Johnson. I learned Spanish through immersion (speaking with others) in my early 20s. I fell in love with the rhythm of the language, the new perspectives on life that it gave me, and the many cultures in Latin America. I have a bachelor's degree in Sociology and Anthropology and a master’s degree in Public Affairs. Since I learned Spanish by immersion, I also went to UNCG to study Spanish reading, writing, and literature with additional coursework. I have traveled to Mexico, Costa Rica, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Spain. I love traveling, home renovation projects, doing my part to make the world a happy place and spending time with my family and friends. Currently, I have one daughter at home and a fluffy dog!  

“Después de todo este tiempo, 

el Sol nunca le

ha dicho a la Tierra

estás en deuda

conmigo.

Ve lo que sucede con un

amor como ese, que

ilumina todo el cielo”.

- Hafiz, Poeta Persa
