Hello! I have been an educator for 31 years. I was born in Los Angeles but I grew up in Colombia. I started teaching in 1989 at a private bilingual school in Colombia. Ten years later I moved back to California and joined the SAUSD family. I first worked at Sierra Preparatory Academy where I taught for 18 years before coming to Advanced Learning Academy. I have a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts and a Master's degree in Cross-Cultural Education. I hold a Multiple Subject Credential, and a Single Subject Credential in Spanish.
I currently live in Orange with my two daughters. When I am not teaching, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my family, going to concerts, watching sports, working out, and doing charity work through my Rotary Club.
