Spanish Teacher
I am originally from Honduras. I started my path as an educational professional at age 15 in the Escuela Normal de Occidente, where I graduated when I was eighteen as an Elementary School Teacher. I worked for 20 years in the Public School System of Honduras. After a few years, I continued my higher education at the Francisco Morazán National Pedagogical University, where I earned higher degrees in Education and in Administration of Education Centers.
I have worked as a teacher for over 30 years, 20 years in my home country, Honduras, and 7 years in the International School of Charlottesville, VA. For the last 10 years in my home country, I worked as a school principal, reaffirming my passion and devotion to education in every educational area.
My family and I moved to the USA in 2013. We enjoy spending time together and camping, visiting historical places, and trips to the beach. We enjoy every changing season and trying foods of different cultures, but overall, we just love being together.
