I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia.  I studied Psychology at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (Catholic University in Bogota, Colombia) and obtained the title as a Doctor in Psychology.  After my college education, I had the great opportunity to work for Shell Colombia, Human Resources Department, for 7 years. In 1991, I got married and moved to the United States.  From this marriage I had two wonderful children, a girl and then a boy.  Once my children were school students, I decided to study Criminal Justice at the University of Houston.  Also, I wanted to work teaching and what better than becoming a math teacher!  So I worked hard to certify myself as a Math and Science teacher and also obtain my certification to teach Spanish.   I was very fortunate to get a job immediately in FBISD and has been with the District since August 2005.
