Every child deserves a
CHAMPION
an adult who will
NEVER GIVE UP
on them, who understands the power of
CONNECTION
and insists that they
BECOME
the best that they can possibly
BE

I am a native Bolivian who has been teaching for 25 years. I was fortunate to work at amazing schools, Montessori School of San Leandro in California, Cochabamba Cooperative School and now ACS La Paz. This school holds a special place in my heart as I not only teach here but have seen my son graduate from this amazing community. On my time off I enjoy traveling, specially to places that I can enjoy the sand in my toes and the sound of the waves. I love reading a good book, taking long walks and just watching a calming sunset.
Teaching is the biggest part of my life. Seeing my students everyday, their smiling faces and eagerness to learn and explore, inspire me to provide a variety of learning experiences that will captivate and challenge them to become better, lifelong learners. There is nothing better than seeing them have fun and enjoy themselves. I believe that every child is unique and special and I love being a part of their lives.
