Sarah Rowe
Bio
I grew up in Durham, NC, and attended NC State for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I got my Master’s in Hispanic Linguistics. As such, I find the human capacity for language to be fascinating, and I hope to share my passion for languages with my students. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy dancing and cooking.
