I am Elizabeth Oquendo Sepúlveda, a native Spanish speaker from Puerto Rico. I am proud to say that I was born and raised there. Languages, cultures and arts are my passions.

I moved to Colorado as a senior in High School, and graduated from Chaparral High School. Followed my heart and studied World Languages/Foreign Languages and Education at MSU. I can also say I married my high school sweet heart and have two entertaining and unique children. In addition, I have 4 pets, 2 crazy cats and 2 protective dogs. ​

I've traveled with students to Paris and Barcelona, and have visited different parts of Colombia. I've also had the opportunity to visit Dominican Republic and would definitely go back.

​Things I love: my children, pets and family, teaching, positive changes, music, dancing, languages, culture, traditions, traveling, food!, comedy, to sing, read, warm weather, the values and love I was taught by my family.​

Fun facts: I used to be a dance instructor, part of a dance company, used to model, I sing (was my first major) and took private lessons, worked as a cake decorator and a baker.

​¡Gracias!

¡Espero conocerlos pronto!
