My name is Liza Navarro. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. My parents are from Puerto Rico so I grew up in a bilingual household which proved to be very beneficial when learning other languages (ie - French). I started taking French classes when I was in middle school and have had several opportunities to travel to France whether on a grant, trip, or job. My fascination for the language has now led me to UBC where I will be continuing my studies at the graduate level (Masters phase.....and hopefully PHD phase).
I am very excited to be in such a "large" class full of people from different backgrounds, ages, and ways of life. I think it will add to the discussions in class and bring new ideas and topics to the table. Although I don't have much experience in theory, I hope to learn a lot not only from the professors but from my classmates as well.
