About The Teacher

I was born in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico.  Spanish is my first language.  I lived 
in Spain and Mexico to further my studies.  I am passionate about the 
language and culture of the Hispanic world and I love the fact that I can 
share that with students who are interested in learning.  I moved three
years ago from Long Island, New York.  Yes, I am a yankee at heart, but I do 
love Texas as well.  This is my 8th year teaching.  My spare time is 
dedicated to my husband and twin girls who are 5 years old and who just 
started kindergarden!
