Biography

Hola,

 

My name is Minerva Salazar-Lopez.  I am a Spanish teacher at Oakland High School.

 

I was born in a rural town of Zacatecas, México.  My family and I moved to Texas in 1989, I was in 7th grade and did not speak a word of English so I know first hand how difficult it is to learn a second language 😉. 

 

After graduating high school, I enrolled in a vocational school, graduated, and began working in data entry. Soon after, I got married and 2 years later moved to Murfreesboro, TN and we have called it home since 1998.  My small family in TN includes myself, my husband, a son, a daughter, and a dog. 

 

I received my Bachelor's from MTSU and my Master's from Carson Newman.

 

It is great to be an OAKLAND PATRIOT.
