Naci en Massachusetts y soy la mayor de 4 hermanos cuando era nina vivi en Mexico, Colorado y Kansas. He estado casada por 8 anos y tengo 2 maravillosos hijos que se llaman Gethzemany y Paul. Como buena latina unas de las muchas cosas que me gustan hacer es bailar, disfrutar de la  buena comida y pasear con mi familia. Mientras trabajaba como ayudante de maestra asisti­ a Metropolitan State College para recibir mi licenciatura y luego termine mi certificacion como maestra con el programa Teacher in Residence. Desde que era una adolescente supe que queri­a se maestra, tal vez me sirvio de inspiracion una maestra que me enseno lo importante que fue, es y sera siempre la educacion en cualquier lugar del mundo. He trabajado con ninos de  todas las edades y realmente disfruto todo el proceso que implica ensenar y aprender. He trabajado los ultimos 5 anos aqui­ en Goldrick comomaestra de kindergarten y cada di­a descubro la alegri­a de mi profesion.  Es un sentimiento maravilloso e indescriptible cuando veo a mis alumnos volverse lectores y escritores aun cuando al principio del ano muchos ni siquiera sabian como sujetar un lapiz. Realmente creo que diariamente todos aprendemos algo nuevo.  Definitivamente cuando pienso en el futuro me veo dando clases.

I was born in Massachusetts. I am the oldest of 4 sibling. When I was a kid I lived in Mexico, Colorado and Kansas. I have been married for 8 years and have two wonderful kids, Gethzemany and Paul.  Considering I am Latina, some things I really like to do are: dancing, eating great food and spending time with my family. While I was working as a paraprofessional, I was also attending Metropolitan State College, where I received my B.A.  Later I finish my teaching degree through the TiR program. I knew since I was a teenager I wanted to be a teacher, I had an inspiring teacher who taught me how important education was been, is and will be through out time anyplace in the world. I had worked with kids of different ages and really enjoy the whole process of teaching-learning. The last 5 years I have been working as a kindergarten teacher here at Goldrick, and everyday I discover the joy of my profession. It is such an amazing feeling to know how children can become readers and writers, when at first they could not even hold a pencil in a right position. I truly believe we learn something new everyday. When thinking in the future I definitely see myself teaching 20 years from NOW!
