Brenda Fisher
Brenda
was born in Spokane and has lived there all her life. She began
studying Spanish when she was in high school. She enjoyed the language
immensely and chose to pursue a career in Spanish Education (following
in the footsteps of her fantastic high school Spanish teachers).
Between her
sophomore and junior years in college, Brenda went to Spain, where
she lived for one year. While there, she taught English, tutored
students in Spanish grammar, and learned a great deal about the
Spanish culture.
Brenda graduated
with her Bachelor's Degree in Spanish Education from Eastern Washington
University. She spent two years in a traditional classroom before
coming to work at STEP Star.
During the summer
of 2001, Brenda received a scholarship to study at the University
of Salamanca in Salamanca, Spain. She took courses on culture, grammar,
and Spanish history. She also participated in many cultural activities
and tours, expanding her knowledge about the history and the people
of Spain.
Brendas
love for the Spanish language and culture reach far beyond standing
in front of a television camera. She has many favorite Spanish and
Mexican dishes that she cooks for her family, and has a large collection
of foreign currency. She is looking forward to starting a new collection
with the introduction of the Euro.
