Hola!
Enseño a grados de high five, kinder, primero y segundo. ¡Me encanta enseñar con música, actuar, y juegos.
Después de graduarme en Hamline University, fui a España para enseñar inglés. Pasado ese tiempo volví a Minnesota porque mi familia vive aquí y pienso que es un lugar muy lindo (incluyendo los inviernos!). Me dedico a la justicia social y promuevo la equidad en las escuelas y comunidades.
En mi tiempo libre, me gusta pasear en canoa en los lagos de Minneapolis, tocar batería, cocinar y viajar. Vivo cerca de Whittier así que esta comunidad es muy importante para mi.
Tenga la confianza de comunicarse por correo electrónico, teléfono, o visita.

Hello,
I teach Spanish to High Five, Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade. I love to teach with music, acting, and movement. After graduating Hamline University, I lived in Spain and taught English. I returned to be closer to my family and I think Minnesota is a wonderful place to live, even in the winter time! I'm dedicated to social justice and I promote equality in schools and communities.
In my free time, I like to canoe the chain of lakes, play drums, cook, and travel. I live close to Whittier and care very much about our community.
Feel free to send me an email, call, or visit me at school with any interests or questions.
