Todo Sobre Mi (All about me)

Welcome to Spanish class! I'm so excited to meet you!

I'm an AZ native. I graduated from NAU. Major in Broadcast Journalism and minor in Spanish . I went to school in Madrid Spain, for a summer, with ASU. I LOVE Spain and the people who live there! Spent every summer, growing up, in Mexico City, where my whole family is.

I taught HS Spanish 20+ years ago, in the Deer Valley District (Mountain Ridge HS) and at New School for the Arts (performing arts school). I left to become a real estate agent to help the Spanish speaking buyers, with their transactions. I've enjoyed RE since 2002. I long-termed substitute taught in Peoria Distirict (Liberty HS), 2019, in Special Ed and AP English. I love every single kid there! Found out I really missed teaching. I started back full-time teaching, Nov. 2019, at Cactus Shadows. I LOVE the kids and teachers here! I'm doing 2 careers that I enjoy VERY much!!

I have three adult daughters, which makes me an empty-nester now. Two of them gave me a grandson. They ALL are my world!

I love to motivate my students not only when learning a new language but in life too! I'm looking forward to teaching you in a fun way! We will play games and do fun activities to make it a bit easier to learn the language. As long as you try your best, do/ turn in homework on time, and do well on quizzes/tests, you'll do just fine! I'm always there to help you.  I look forward to a great year! =)
