I am from Bogotá, the Capital of Colombia (South America), I have been working in Education for 8 years, 6 of which have been in Plano ISD. I taught 3 years in the HEAD START program and this will be my second year as a Second Grade bilingual teacher at Jackson Elementary School. I have a B.A. in Science from the Universidad de los Andes in Colombia and a Masters in Bilingual Education and ESL from the University of Texas-Permian Basin.

My work experience as an educator has allowed me to gain experience working with diverse student populations and I firmly believe that it is a teacher's duty to serve their students and recognize that every student, given the means and opportunity, is capable of success.

I currently live in the city of Allen, with my husband, my beautiful 18-year-old daughter, who recently graduated from Allen High School, and my two adorable goldendoodles, Rocco and Luna. What I enjoy doing most in my spare time is dancing (Zumba), gardening (I love plants), and traveling with my family.
