About the store

Experience

I have been teaching Spanish for 21 years in the United States. I have taught everything from preschool to high school. I developed and taught my own community classes, directed after school programs and worked in the public school setting. I have presented numerous teacher development workshops at the district, county and state level. One of my greatest joys in the profession is working with new teachers helping them learn the skills to teach the next generation of learners.

Teaching style

A little of everything mixed into one crazy, fun filled, hands on classroom. Something old, something new, something borrowed and something totally all from me.

Awards & shining teacher moments

2009 Excellence in Education Fellowship Award for Outstanding Teaching Performance and Service

My own education history

I have a B.A. in Spanish Language and Literature and Secondary Education. I have a Master's in Leadership and Instruction for the Inclusive Classroom. I have studied in the United States, Mexico, Spain, Guatemala and Peru. My educational history never stops growing as I am always learning.

Additional biographical information

After 21 years in the classroom I am looking for my new path. I am ready to share my years of experience to help make teachers' lives easier and more productive.
