Member of the Faculty Since 2023
I am thrilled about the opportunity to teach Spanish this year at Kazoo! I moved to the US from Mexico in 2013 and have been living in Michigan since. My two kids also attend Kazoo, and I greatly appreciate the positive influence the school has on their development. My goal for this year is to inspire the kids not only to learn how to speak, write, and understand Spanish but also to gain an appreciation for the diverse cultures of Latin American countries. I hold a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, an MBA, and an MS in Supply Chain Management. In addition to being a Spanish teacher, I am also a passionate life and health coach, dedicated to helping individuals achieve personal transformation and well-being. I believe that a holistic approach to education involves nurturing not only language skills but also fostering personal growth and mindfulness among the students.
