Began teaching in Costa Rica in 1994, New Mexico, and Texas in both public and private schools.  Began teaching for St. John in 2004.

Favorite Subject:
"I love them all!  More than a favorite subject, I have favorite themes. I just love to integrate all the subjects with the theme of the week with fun, stimulating, creative activities."

Why I am a teacher:
"My grandmother and mother were my biggest inspiration to become a teacher.   Since the age of fifteen, I use to spend my free time observing the wonders these ladies did with their students.  More than teaching, they touched the souls of their students, spoke 'their language,' understood their interests, followed their individual path of learning and development, and supported their parents in the most loving way."

Why I like teaching at St. John:
"The beautiful sense of community and support within our faculty, staff, and families is incomparable!"
