Experience

I started my teaching career at a classical school in the suburbs of Chicago. My philosophy of education was conceived under there, through my study of Charlotte Mason and Classical Education. After teaching for almost six years at a private school. I moved to the south side of Chicago and taught there for eight years. Both experiences have helped ground me as an educator. I currently stay home with my two littles. As I create resources for them, I love sharing them with others.

Teaching style

I am a firm believer in the importance of instilling the love of learning in kids from a young age. The activities and the content of the materials they engage with can either promote or hinder it. I am excited to share tested products that promote joy while maintaining high academic rigor.

Awards & shining teacher moments

It was a joy to share my love of learning with refugee children. This article does a great job of sharing the journey that many educators like myself found ourselves in : https://www.chalkbeat.org/chicago/2023/7/11/23789891/chicago-public-schools-teachers-help-refugee-students/

My own education history

I grew up in Bogotá Colombia where I attended private schools through high school. My love of learning (especially math) developed in my early years. While in high school, I enjoyed "translating" math concepts to my classmates so that they would be easier to understand. I received a Masters in Teaching after discovering my calling as a teacher. It's been my passion for several years.
