Background

Margaret Cordova
M.A., University of Colorado at Denver

I arrived on the shores of the United States as a small child and have lived primarily in the beautiful state of Colorado since. I have enjoyed skiing, hiking, and other activities with friends here all my life but I have also appreciated opportunities to experience other lands and cultures. That interest led me to a career in teaching English as a Second Language.
