Nina Daugherty Nina Daugherty was born and raised on a horse ranch in rural Oklahoma. Her interest in Hispanic people and their culture began when she made her first trip to Mexico in 1958. For the next 15 years her family traveled to Mexico annually. At an early age she learned the value of being bilingual, studying other cultures, and having friends in another country. Nina has worked as a teacher for Denver Public Schools since 1990. For the last five years she has been a bilingual English Language Acquisition (ELA) instructor. Nina earned her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Northern Colorado. At the University of Colorado at Denver, she completed coursework for an elementary teaching certificate. Lesley College of Cambridge, Massachusetts, awarded her a Master of Education degree with an emphasis in Technology in Education. Teaching English to children is her passion. She reports that studying Spanish gives her a daily dose of humility for second language learners and their families. One of her lifelong goals is to increase her fluency to take college classes in a Spanish-speaking country. To that end, she spends free time studying Spanish in Denver and Latin American countries. |
