Spanish

By learning Spanish at a young age, a child can grow up appreciating the Hispanic culture in a way that adults wouldn’t expect. The child can find him or herself immersed with being able to translate a menu at a local Mexican restaurant. Learning the language of a culture is the first step into understanding it better and why people within it do the things they do. For a child, this could be quite an experience.

Regardless of the situation, learning to speak Spanish at an early age can help a child succeed throughout his or her life. The student could develop a talent for linguistic skills that could benefit learning other languages later on. As speaking Spanish is growing to be an ever demanding skill, why not give the child the ability to keep up with an ever growing society?

I was born in Morelia Michoacán, Mexico. My family and I moved to Indiana when I was 12 years old. I attended Scribner Middle School and graduated from New Albany High School in 2004. I then graduated from IUS with a BA in Spanish. I have been teaching Spanish since 2012 and love it! 

I have been teaching Spanish to our Pre-K to 8th grade classes since 2016. In addition to teaching them the language, I also enjoys teaching them about the culture. I like to incorporate fun projects into my classes like making piñatas and sugar skulls. In addition to teaching Spanish to our students, I am also our Spanish Ambassador for our Hispanic speaking families. 

My husband, Carlos, and I have been married for 10 years. We have three girls- Hannah, Melanie and Sophia. We have a Pomeranian dog named Maximo. I have one brother, Jesus, and one sister, Ana Carolina. I also has 3 nieces and a nephew.

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, baking, dancing, listening to music, watching crime tv shows, shopping, going to the beach, eating, and traveling. My favorite foods are tacos, enchiladas, steak, pizza, mangoes, and seafood. Some fun facts about me are that I can salsa dance, I don't like peanut butter, but likes peanuts, and I would like to visit all Latin American countries one day.
