“They can take everything away from you, except your education!” These are words instilled by my father since I was a little girl. The child of immigrants, I recall my parents working diligently as business owners and US Citizens, doing everything they could to adapt, learn English, and prioritize education. An unidentified ELL, I grew up in a bilingual home.

In 2004, I graduated from San Diego State University with a  Bachelor’s in Liberal Studies Elementary Education with a Spanish minor and studied abroad in Spaindedicating myself to becoming proficient in my native language, finding a love for being bilingual!

I have had the pleasure of working with students from various socio-economic statuses and ethnic backgrounds. My career began in the historic all-black catholic school, St. Francis Xavier School in Miami. In California, I worked with ELLs in a public school continuing my education at Cal State Bakersfieldearning my California Teaching Credentials including classroom management and Guided Language Acquisition Design AKA GLAD strategies. In 2009, I attended MountSt. Mary’s College- Cleared California Teaching Credentials with a focus in technology and social-emotional learning. I also served as a committee member for the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

By 2011, I moved to New York, teaching in a Charter School with opportunities to advocate for children. By 2012, I earned my Master’s degree in Administration at St. John’s University, and an extension in Bilingual Education at Queens College. Today, I am a 6th-grade bilingual teacher in Brentwood School District, a district-wide committee member of the Instructional Rounds team introduced by Harvard University, and a hand-selected participant for the NY State Next Generation Learning Standards Alignment Educator Review panel.

Throughout my years as an educator, I have always treated and advocated for students as if they were my own. I am a believer in Malow’s law of hierarchy, paying close attention to my students’ physiological, social-emotional, and academic needs. I have also founded clubs, like the OLPH running club, Future Leaders Club to provide positive outlets, and the Financial Education club in partnership with Capital One Bank for students.

Recently, I have been honored as teacher of the month by the NYS TESOL association and Co-Chair of the Long Island, NY region.  Now my desire is to Educate with Love. My mission is to be a valuable resource, helping other teachers thrive, inspire, and LOVE their bilingual students by providing them with easy-to-use tips, effective, research-based activities, a platform to build community, and encouragement to motivate their students and grow together.
