I was born in so-called Bogota, Colombia and was able to come to these northern territories when I was 6. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a Master of Science in Education; after graduating I worked in charter schools for three years and then at a therapeutic day program. I've primarily worked with students in PreKindergarten to 4th grade in all subject areas. I have experience with 504 and Individualized Education Plans. I am passionate about meeting students where they are at and creating lessons that are engaging, honest, and culturally expressive.
