In my most recent job, I worked 6 years as an assistant principal in a Dual Language School. My areas of specialization have been Dual Language instruction, Social Emotional support for students, Assessment Coordinator, English Language Instruction for student learning English as a second Language, Coaching adults, among others.

Its vision of curiosity and deep understanding of the world are very important to me as it is a great way to enhance student learning every day.

I am dedicated to facilitating cooperative and authentic learning experiences that empower students to thrive academically and personally.
