I am excited about returning for my second year at Elkins High School!  This is my seventh year teaching Spanish.  I have taught Levels 1-3 as well as Native Speaker and AP Spanish Language. I am a native Houstonian and have lived in Sugar Land for the last 9 years.  My family is Colombian, and I had the advantage of growing up bilingual.  Having experienced both languages and cultures, I am able to bring them together in the classroom.  My hope is that my students will learn the Spanish language and culture, so they can confidently use their skills and knowledge outside of the classroom.

I have been married for 17 years.  My husband teaches Spanish at Kempner High School, where my daughter is also a junior, and my son attends Garcia Middle School.  We have 2 rescue dogs, Mia and Cappuccino.  We love traveling, trying new food, going on walks, photography, watching movies, telling jokes, and playing videogames.
