For Kristen "Haley" Woodard, a mission trip to Costa Rica and an innovative high school Spanish teacher sparked her interest in a foreign launguage education career.
"The summer after my first year of Spanish, I went on a mission trip with my church to Costa Rica and instantly fell in love," said Woodard.
