FUN FACTS:

I was born and raised in Oruro, where I worked in public schools and at the German School for about twenty years. Then my family and I moved to La Paz. I am married and have three children, a girl and two boys

Teaching has been my passion and I think treating students as individuals helps them develop the skills they need to face the future. Reading creates scenarios in which student's feel outside their comfort zones and are confronted with new situations that set them to think critically, discover their own potentials, and reinforce their values to become good citizens.

I enjoy traveling, watching movies, observing Nature, walking, listening to music, and spending time with family and friends. Reading is my favorite hobby.

Teaching at ACS and going hand by hand with technology every day is an amazing experience, as it is to contribute students reach the school Mission, Vision and Core Values.
