Dr. Nadia Alicia is a native Spanish speaker born in Lima, Perú. Her career in education and second language acquisition began at Kutztown University where she earned a BA in Education: Spanish PK-12. After years in the field, she continued her studies at Temple University, where she mastered Spanish Literature and Linguistics. Her love for teaching and researching language acquisition inspired her to obtain a Doctorate in Education with a focus on Spanish immersion research in early childhood. She enjoys traveling, dancing salsa, cooking, and listening to music. Language Project LLC and the Spanish Immersion Learning Center are a direct result of her passion for teaching language and her love for the Lehigh Valley community.
