Who Am I?

My name is Elizabeth Kouma (/kōw-muh/).

​

I’m primarily a Christian, wife, and mama of 4 loved children. I'm also a licensed Spanish teacher.

​

​

Education:

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Spanish as well as a teacher’s license for teaching K-12 Spanish from Colorado State University in 2013

​

Experience Snapshot:

• I was hired at Heritage Christian Academy immediately after graduating from college to teach Spanish for the following classes:

Introduction to Spanish, Spanish I, Spanish II, and Spanish III/IV for one year before our first child was born 

• Every year since then I have taught private Spanish classes for children and youth ages 2-20 with classes ranging from about 2-12 students

• I have extensive experience with children and youth, from my own experiences being part of a foster-adopt family, working as a Children’s MInistry Coordinator, and having 4 children of my own!

More about me:

​

Born in Arizona, I grew up in Colorado. I got married to my wonderful husband in 2013. The last 7 years have been a whirlwind- move to Wyoming, move within Wyoming, move back to Colorado, another move within Colorado, several job changes for my husband, 3 home births, 1 adoption, move to Missouri! Whew!

​

Here are some of the things that I love:

​

God. My family. Gardening. Homesteading. Teaching Spanish!
