I am a graduate of the University of Notre Dame both Bachelors and Masters in Spanish Language and Literature. After graduating from there, I spent a year teaching in Japan and learning more Japanese. I have taught for over 20 years as a Bilingual Spanish/English elementary teacher, Spanish teacher and ENL teacher. I've taught children as young as 3 and adults in their 80's. I am passionate about teaching languages because it is a bridge between different cultures. I enjoy teaching because I have had brilliant and kind teachers that helped raise me(mother, father, aunts, cousins..) and also amazing mentor teachers that have inspired me to always improve my craft of educating my students. I look forward to meeting you in this wonderful space as we co-create a learning environment best for you to reach your goals. Happy studying and learning!
