My name is Kimberly Dial and I was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri.  I attended Xavier University of Louisiana where I majored in Spanish.  During my undergraduate studies, I studied in Granada, Spain for one year.  After receiving my Bachelors degree, I returned home to Kansas City where I started teaching high school Spanish.  I was later recruited to teach Spanish in Atlanta, Georgia from Kindergarten to fifth grade.  I shortly met my husband and we have currently lived in Virginia for three years with our three year old daughter Avani.  I have taught Spanish for five years and I enjoy working at a high school level because it allows me to be innovative in the classroom.
