ABOUT ME:

I have a Bachelor and Doctorate degree from UNAM , National Autonomous University of Mexico,as well as two Masters of Science from the University of Reading, England. Also, I have been a research fellow at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y, but no matter what I have done in my life, I have always been a teacher, ranging from early childhood to post-graduate degree. Teaching is my passion!

I was born in Mexico City, but I have  also lived in the United States, England, Scotland and Pakistan. I have traveled a lot  by myself, visiting 32 countries all over the world, and with my husband, Ricardo Torres Nava, who is the first Mexican and LatinAmerican to summit Mount Everest, as well as the highest mountain on every continent. We chose to settle down in Texas, where I have been teaching for the past 13 years all core subjects at elementary level.

I speak Spanish, English, French and Italian, and I have knowledge of Greek and Latin roots for academic language and basic Urdu and German. I love learning languages, that is why I can also read the Greek, Cyrilic and Hebrew alphabets and I am trying to teach myself Russian. 

My hobbies are swimming, cycling, hiking, dancing, riding my husband's motorcycles, listening to all kinds of music, especially classic rock and opera, and reading. I don't have any kids, but I have three Borzoi dogs which I adore; Ede the girl, Maui and Quattro, my boys.
