Hola! My name is Mrs. Gaffney and I teach Spanish II and the 4th/5th grade Spanish classes at Black River. Originally from the east side of Michigan, I moved to Holland to be a part of the BR family. I met my husband/travel-buddy in Holland and we married on August 6, 2016.
I graduated from Central Michigan University with an education degree in K-12 Spanish, 6-12 English as a Second Language, and a special endorsement in Middle Level Education. I am currently working on my Masters from GVSU in Learning Disabilities.
Before coming to Holland, I taught English as a second language in Madrid, Spain and in Gongju, South Korea. Madrid is like a second home to me and I visit whenever I can. In my free time, I love to travel, hike, read, craft, garden, and spend time with family and friends. I am very passionate about languages, cultures, and teaching and excited to share my experiences with you!
