As I enter my 13th year as a Spanish linguist docent at Barbara Bush, teaching levels I, II, and AP, I am deeply grateful for the inclusive space that has allowed me to cultivate an immersive, proficiency-based program. My mission is to foster cultural inclusion by celebrating the richness of the Spanish language and recognizing diversity as our common bond.

Having contributed to the World Language curriculum writing team and served as the sponsor of the National Spanish Honor Society, I am honored to guide students toward a deep love and appreciation of foreign languages. My own journey with language began in infancy and continued through adulthood, as I lived and taught Literature and Poetry in Mexico. This experience allowed me to immerse myself in the indigenous and colonial influences that shape the cultural tapestry of Mexico and the Americas.

I strive to ignite curiosity about language and travel in the Spanish-speaking world. My academic background, with studies at the University of Texas at San Antonio and El Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey, focused on International Business and linguistics, equipped me to bring a multifaceted perspective to language education. I believe there is no single way to introduce language; instead, I embrace a prism vision that values inclusivity, kindness, and a global citizenship that appreciates diverse customs.

In teaching language, I emphasize that there is no one right way to be. Language learning invites us to embrace and celebrate the beauty in diversity, and approach the world with an open heart and mind.
