I was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New York City, experiences that inspired my love for language and culture. With a degree in Communications from Brigham Young University–Idaho, I began teaching 13 years ago and have been part of Scholar Academy for over a decade. I am passionate about helping students express themselves, explore new perspectives, and grow with confidence in a welcoming classroom environment.
In my free time (and sometimes in class time), I love to listen to music, read, dance, cook my favorite dishes, talk about traveling, hiking, and spending time with family.
Class time is meant for practicing and collaborating to improve your language skills. Once your assignments are completed accurately, you will be assigned a peer you can tutor.
Behavior: All school rules apply while in this classroom as well as during activities around the building.
Cell Phones: Must be kept in lockers, silent, or out of sight.
Communication: Keep it respectful & appropriate. Any grievances should be presented professionally.
Headphones: May only be used when instructed to do so.
Tardiness: All students are expected to be in the classroom upon the ringing of the bell
It is the responsibility of the students to make up any missed work due to an absence. You have the same number of days you were gone to make up those assignments upon return. If the absence prevents you from completing a major assignment or test, communicate with the teacher to complete during office hours:
T or Th from 3:05 – 4:00 pm (Term 1 & 2) T or Th from 3:15 – 4:00 pm (Term 3 & 4)
