Kim Koopman ~ Spanish Teacher
Hola!
I have been teaching Spanish at
Peace of Mind and Footprints Academy
since August of 1998. I am
originally from Beloit, Wisconsin,
but have lived in Minnesota since
1995. I graduated from the
University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
in May 2004 with a Bachelor of Arts
in Spanish. My involvement
with Spanish began when my family
and I moved to Venezuela, South
America when I was 6 years old.
I spent the next six years of my
life there. That is where my
love for the Spanish language and
Latin American culture truly began
and became a part of my daily life.
It’s been a privilege to share that
passion with each and every child.
