• Fun Facts:

I was born and raised in La Paz, Bolivia.  I graduated from Saint Andrew's school in La Paz and moved to Geneva, New York where I attended Hobart and William Smith Colleges, a Liberal Arts College and got my BA degree.  After graduating from college I moved to Costa Rica to to continue my studies, I focused on  Peace and Conflict studies  and was certified as a Non Violent Communication facilitator. 

I love teaching because I learn from my students as much as they learn from me. Being a KG4 teacher allows me to guide the little ones through the first steps of a life - long  learning journey. 

When I am not teaching I love spending time with my family, painting, walking Fiona (my dog) and doing Yoga and Pilates.
