I am so grateful to be joining the CCS team this year. After teaching K–8 for two years, I am excited to continue my journey in education by working with middle and high school students.

I grew up in Miami and graduated from Florida International University with a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. I spent nearly 10 years working as a legal assistant before leaving to help my husband launch our family business. For more than 15 years, we have successfully run online retail stores together on eBay. We also share four beautiful children who keep us busy every day. As a family, we love spending time outdoors, exploring new places and watching football.

Watching my children grow, learn, and explore their talents made me realize how much I love working with young people and supporting their development. After moving to Charlotte a few years ago, the opportunity to become a Spanish teacher opened the door for me to pursue that passion, and I couldn’t be more grateful for this path.
