About: Hi! I am the English as a Second Language teacher at Washington Elementary and Bugg Elementary. I love helping students learn to understand, communicate, read and write English and I love learning about my students’ home languages and cultures. Learning a new language is fun and challenging! At home, I have a wonderful husband and three daughters! We love going on walks, reading, playing games and cooking together. My husband is originally from Mexico City, Mexico and he is trying to teach us Spanish. I’m looking forward to another great year!
