I was born and raised in Venezuela, on the northwest part of the country, in a city on the east coast of Maracaibo Lake.
This is my 28th year teaching, 21th at Spring Valley High School.
This year I will be teaching Spanish 3 College Prep, 3 Honors and 4 Honors
I love Spanish, I love the Hispanic culture and I love teaching our students at Spring Valley. I love traveling and taking students with me, I love reading and spending time with family and friends.
