I am from Colombia. I live with my husband and my 2 high school daughters in Lakewood. I have 2 dogs. I have been a teacher for more than 17 years. I taught in Colombia for more than 10 years. I taught 5th grade, 2nd grade and 1st grade there. I travelled to North Carolina to be part of a Dual Language program teaching Spanish in 2009. I taught in NC for 5 years; 3 years as a 2nd grade teacher and 2 years as a Kindergarten teacher. Then, my family and I came to Denver in 2014. I taught 1st grade for 2 years. Last year, I was a Spanish Literacy support teacher. I worked with small groups in K, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grades. I am so excited to be a Kindergarten teacher again!!
