Essentials, Spanish

I am so grateful to be part of the CCS team and excited to continue my journey in education by working with middle and high school students. This will be my 4th year teaching and I am so excited for it!

I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, and my parents are from Cuba, so Spanish was my first language. I graduated from Florida International University. My husband, Charles, and I have four wonderful children who keep us busy every day. As a family, we enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring new places, and watching football together.

Watching my children grow, learn, and discover their talents helped me realize how much I enjoy working with young people and supporting their growth. After moving to Charlotte a few years ago, I had the opportunity to become a Spanish teacher, which allowed me to pursue this passion. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to support and connect with students each day.
