Melanie J.

Participant
Teach In Spain Madrid, Spain School: Creighton University Hometown: Fort Collins, Colorado

Hi there! My name is Melanie Jensen and I am from Fort Collins, Colorado. In college, I majored in Philosophy and minored in Spanish. Throughout my life, I have always wanted to explore and see the world beyond my own perspective living in the United States. Because of this, I am so excited to cross the ocean and jump into the world of living and working in Madrid, Spain. I hope you enjoy reading about my adventures and experiences while living in Madrid!
