Ms. Baker will be joining us as a Spanish instructor this year. She holds a Master's degree in Spanish from Middlebury College and has enriched her expertise through an immersion program in Madrid. In addition to her academic background, she has dedicated significant time to volunteering with organizations that serve Spanish-speaking communities, from bilingual students in Queens to the underprivileged in Vatican City. At Rice, she is eager to help students enhance their language skills and achieve meaningful, sustained progress. We are delighted to welcome her to the Rice community!
