I have been happily married since 2015 and my husband and I have 2 beautiful daughters in elementary school. I enjoy discovering different foods and challenging my palate and my favorite flower is the sunflower. I was born in Puerto Rico with a long lineage of educators in my family. My passion for early childhood education is more than enjoying to play with the children, but to witness and be part of their development as they grow. I strive to find many opportunities for educators to become more educated on how to implement best practices in their classroom to assure positive learning outcomes for each child and to help equip families to cope with their challenges and help strengthen their child's development and skills.
