Hi There! Welcome to my portfolio website. My name is Caitlin Manson. I am originally from Naples, Florida, but my family moved to East Lansing, Michigan when I was a freshmen in high school. It was an interesting experience because I had never seen snow! Somewhere along the line I fell in love with Michigan and completed my undergrad at Michigan State with a major in Spanish and minor in English. As part of my degree program, I had the opportunity to study abroad for a summer in Santander, Spain where I lived and took classes. Currently I am enrolled at MSU again working on my master's degree in Educational Technology. I teach Spanish 2, 3, 4 and 5 at Kearsley High School in Flint, Michigan. I love being able to show students a new language and culture and have been fortunate to travel with students twice to Spain!
My husband and I were married in Florida in the summer of 2017. We currently live in Clarkston, MI with our puppy, Maggie. Fall is my favorite season in Michigan and we spend a lot of fall weekends outdoors, especially at tailgates and cheering on Michigan State football! We also enjoy traveling and exploring new places, but we always make sure to spend time in Florida with my family every year and spend time on the beautiful beaches in Naples :) I enjoy running and have completed 4 half marathons, my favorite one being the Detroit Half Marathon through Detroit and Canada!
