TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF

I love teaching Spanish to my students. After 23 years in the classroom, I still love it just as much as when I began. Teaching allows me to stay connected to my roots. Through language and culture, I am able to pass on knowledge that goes beyond the classroom.

IF YOU PLAYED HOCKEY, WHAT POSITION WOULD YOU PLAY AND WHY?

I would play center, because centers hustle and communicate nonstop, making everyone around them better.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

Having the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in my students' lives is incredibly important to me and inspires me every day.
