About Me
I was born and raised in Nogales, Arizona, a border culture community that is joined with its sister city, Nogales, Sonora, in Mexico. I was brought up with our much cherished traditions and values. My culture is a way of life, which includes the language, traditions, values, music and food I eat. How I relate to others, how I think, how I behave, and how I view the world has been influenced by mi familia (my family).
I attended the University of Arizona and received my Bachelors of Arts in Social Sciences with a minor in Psychology. After graduating from the U of A, I went back home and was an Elementary School Counselor. The following year, I attended Arizona State University and received my Master's in Counseling in 2004.
I have a burning passion to work with children whether it is assisting them in their academic, personal, social and/or career development. I have been very fortunate to work with children of all ages within different organizations.
Becoming an Educator/Licensee for Tic-Talk Spanish (TTS) is the result of my desire to share the Spanish language with my daughter who is now 2.5 years old. In fact, the way I came across Tic-Talk Spanish (TTS) was a result of exploring the opportunities to provide her a solid foundation in the Spanish language. From birth to 7 years of age, experts call this an optimal window of opportunity for learning a second language. As a result, my daughter and I are also currently enrolled in the Parent and Me classes. It is a valuable and effective program that will benefit my daughter in more ways than one and providing her with a strong foundation for her future. I hope to share this with your family!
I look forward to providing your young one and your family with the opportunity to experience the Spanish language and culture through music and movement! Thank you for visiting my Tic-Talk Spanish (TTS) page!
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have.
¡Hasta Pronto! See you soon!
