Chandra Brown728-2400 X6526¡Hola! My name is Chandra Brown. I love teaching Spanish, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the Hellgate facutly.I was born and raised in Alaska and went to college in Bozeman, where I received a BA in Spanish and a BA in Art. After years of galavanting around the country as a nomadic river guide and winter recreation enthusiast, I began teaching at an International Baccalaureate school in Palmer, Alaska in 2007. In 2010 I went to Ecuador on a Fulbright grant, where I focused on the efficacy of local watershed conservation initiatives and taught language courses at a rural Andean university. Upon my return in 2011, I began teaching at Garfield High School in Seattle and in 2014, compelled by unanswered questions about the relationships between rivers, communities, and words, I moved to Missoula to begin a Master's program in Environmental Studies. My thesis work took me back to Ecuador over subsequent winters, and I continue to explore and write about issues related to river contamination in the Andean Amazon region.In the summertime I like to take strangers rafting through the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, where I spend the time between big rapids trying to hide from the desert sun and looking for butterflies. I also like to go kayaking with my friends, read books, cuddle with my charismatic canine friend, Arlo, and write stories about adventures and rivers.I firmly believe that language has the power to connect us to places and people far from our homes. I look forward to sharing my love of the Spanish language with the scholars at Hellgate High School.
