I bring over five years of experience teaching Spanish Immersion in the USA, working with students from Kinder to Grade 5. My passion for bilingual education drives me to create engaging, culturally rich learning experiences that inspire students to connect with the diverse world around them. Currently, I am expanding my expertise by pursuing a certification in teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language with ELEInternacional, ensuring my methods remain innovative and impactful.
