¡Hola! My name is Madeline Gonzalez.  I teach Spanish 8 and Spanish 4-AP. This is my fourth year at FMS, and my 8th teaching Spanish. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and then moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where I met my Colombian husband.  We have two sons.  Teaching Spanish feels more like a hobby than a job to me. I genuinely enjoy what I do. I also like to garden, crochet/knit, and listen to old salsa music.

My "why:"

I have the opportunity (gift) of making an impact on my students' lives every single day. And in doing so, I hope to honor Mr. Puruco, an exceptional teacher who taught me and cared about me a long time ago.
