Marja O'Connor

Spanish Language Teacher

Marja grew up in Colorado on the Front Range and attended a bilingual Spanish/English elementary school as a child.  This early introduction to Spanish planted a seed that ignited a love for learning languages and later led her to spend a summer volunteering in Costa Rica, a year working and studying in Argentina, and a year doing research as a Fulbright scholar in Brazil.  She is grateful for having had the opportunity to learn a second language at a young age and has always been drawn to sharing her love of the language with others.  She studied International Affairs and Economics at the University of Colorado and pursued her teaching license once she discovered her passion for working with children.
