Hello and welcome to Adams!

Before coming here, I studied and taught in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Go Pack Go! :)

You could say that I sort of fell into teaching Spanish. At the University of Wisconsin Green Bay, I studied one semester of Spanish, but was able to finish my undergraduate career in Cuernavaca, Mexico. While there, I lived with a wonderful and generous family and taught English for nine months. In those nine months, I was immersed in the culture and had to learn how to communicate with the family, my colleagues, my students and my friends. Then I had the opportunity to work for two years in the bilingual program in Green Bay as a kindergarten teacher. I learned even more from my students, their families and my colleagues because everyone spoke Spanish and some came from other countries and cultures.

I ended up here at Adams with the same luck. I wanted to be closer to my family, but it was very important to me that I continued with Spanish. Adams found me, and I jumped at the chance. Meanwhile, I married my lovely husband, and we have two children! My husband is from Bogota, Colombia, and we speak with them in both Spanish and English. We have similiar hopes that they will be completely bilingual just as you have for your children. 

I hope to instill the love for learning and Spanish in all of our students as we continue to learn and grow in such an amazing environment. In fifth grade, we use social studies themes to guide our work. We study pre-colonial, colonial and the American Revolution. In math, there is an emphasis on fractions, multiplication and dividsion. 

I look forward to getting to know all of my students and families!
