¡Hola! My name is Jess Bloise. I grew up in Longmont, Colorado where I graduated from Longmont High School and then went on to study Spanish, Linguistics, and Cognitive Science at CU Boulder. I started teaching in 2013 and have taught in a variety of contexts, from Montessori elementary schools to university-level English programs. I have lived in Costa Rica and Mexico and traveled to nine different countries but still have a lot left on my list to explore. I am currently getting my Masters degree in Guanajuato, Mexico where I spend my summer breaks. When I'm not at school, you'll find me spending time outdoors hiking, backpacking, mountain biking or dancing salsa wherever the music can be found.
