I am Patricia Ortiz  from Colombia, South America.
I have lived and worked the majority of my adult life in
the United States. As the Bride of a military Officer, I
have had the opportunity to visit many wonderful places
and visit many countries that have helped me develop
diverse experiences and have demonstrated success in
public and private sectors both in the US and abroad.
I am an accomplished professional with over
twenty years of progressive experience in education as
well as many years of experience in Psychology,
marketing, administration and management. I have
designed, managed, and lead community-based
programs to help at risk kids and their families establish
educational goals in order to be successful in school. After moving to Texas, I
accepted a position at Plano ISD, where I teach on-level and AP level
Spanish courses and love being with my students on their educational journeys.
I have a Master in Business Administration (MBA) in Global Management
from Phoenix University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Santo Tomas
University in Bogota, Colombia, SA. I hold professional certifications in Child
Psychology, Foreign Language Instruction, Case Management, and Managing
Classroom Environment.
I love traveling and enjoy spending time with my family. My main goal is
to help my students enjoy discovering the Spanish language and the culture that
surrounds it and to also establish effective relationships with parents, the community and
other staff members in the process.
