A Little About Me

• I was at Estes as an ESL Instructional Assistant in 2020-21, and I am excited to be back as an ESL Teacher.

• Previously, I taught English for four and a half years in Mexico. Then, I spent 17 years working as a Spanish medical interpreter. Now, I am happy to say that I have circled back to education.

• When I am not at school, I enjoy, running, Pilates, reading and spending time with my husband and children (Alexander - 10 and Mathilda - 6).

• I am a firm believer in equity in education for all.

Educational Background

• • I am a product of North Carolina Public Schools. I graduated from Owen High School.

  • In 2003, I graduated from UNC-Asheville with a B.A. in mathematics and Spanish.

  • I received my first Master's degree in Spanish with a concentration in the history and theory of translation studies from UNC-Charlotte in 2008, and I will graduate in the spring of 2023 with a second Master's degree in Teaching English as a Second Language (also from UNC-Charlotte).

  • Education opens doors, and I am here to help my students and their families knock on as many doors as possible.

Other Information

• • We will be using Class Dojo, Google Classroom, and Seesaw.
