I am a Spanish-speaking mom of 2 kids, a young adult teen and a (soon to be!) middle schooler. I am an open-hearted and patient person and I welcome people from all walks of life. Diversity is a strength in both the biological world and in our communities.
My studies began at the University of South Florida with a Bachelor's Degree in Special Education and were followed by 14 years in the classroom from elementary to middle school. Years later, I completed a Master's Degree in Environmental Science and Policy and had the amazing opportunity to become an adjunct professor at the prestigious University of Tampa teaching undergraduates Environmental Science and Biology. I relished this time as it challenged me to win over non-majors to the sciences. I did this with hands-on and small group activities, often outdoors, and by relating the concepts we talked about to real life applications and interests of my students.
Today, I work in real estate and wellness coaching and teach in small groups at local yoga and wellness centers. I think I'm a born teacher due to my curious nature and enthusiasm for the world. I would be honored to help your learner connect with and understand with the material while increasing their self-esteem and their curiosity for the world.
