• I was born and raised on a cattle ranch in Oklahoma!
• I have a twin brother, of course I must add that I am 7 minutes older!
• My cat has special needs which was an important part of what I was seeking. I have a soft spot for special needs pets, and happen to work at the ASPCA!

Ciao!! My name is Jami DeAngelis, and while I am a business professional, my real passion is Italian language. All of my life I have had an unexplainable passion for languages which led me to get a Spanish minor in college and work in the university Study Abroad office. Before I graduated, I found Italian and it became the “love of my life”! I have studied Italian for years since in structured classes and with private instructors. I also spent a summer in Florence studying Italian, and a year living in Rome while obtaining a masters degree. I am overjoyed to find a way to keep this passion in my life and to hopefully inspire children to pursue languages in the future and get them excited about their own language adventures! Outside of work and Italian, I am a proud mom and a child at heart, so teaching elementary and middle school ages is a perfect fit!
