Hello everyone, I am Robygue Martinez and I have a Ph.D. in Latin American Cultural Studies from The University of Arizona. I am originally from Mexico and I have been living in the United States for the past ten years. I graduated with a Bachelors's and Master's degree from the University of Texas-Pan American, which is located a few miles away from the border with Mexico. Due to its proximity to Mexico, the main concentrations of students have a Hispanic background. During my stay at UTPA, I had the opportunity to work as a Spanish tutor at the university writing center, and also I had the privilege to teach SPAN 1301 (basic Spanish course) for the Modern Languages department. At The University of Arizona, I have previously taught different undergraduate Spanish courses that are part of the basic Spanish program, Heritage Spanish, and Online Spanish.
