Teacher Bio: I’m a homeschool mom of two, enthusiastic about sharing my knowledge of Hispanic cultures. Born and raised in Mexico, I developed a love for the language and its cultural richness from a young age. My international experiences also include living in Chile for almost 3 years with my husband, Jason, giving me a deeper appreciation for the diverse dialects and customs of the Spanish-speaking world.
My expertise extends beyond Spanish. I'm a former management professor and currently teach health and nutrition, alongside a fitness class for moms. This unique background allows me to create dynamic and engaging Spanish lessons that go beyond rote memorization.
My mission in this class is to build my students confidence in communicating in various situations, broaden their cultural understanding of the Hispanic world, and make learning fun and interactive for everyone.
