While spending my childhood summers in Monterrey, Mexico with my father, I was blessed to be immersed in the Hispanic culture and language.  Being bilingual has brought opportunities to my life and I hope to pass that joy and skill onto your children.  For the past 10 years I have been a bilingual teacher for various grade levels at Emerson Elementary with AISD. Now with this new embarkment, I am excited to see the bright minds of your children and nurture them towards their full educational potential.
