I was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia. I received a Catholic education through grade and high school. I received my B.S. as a nutritionist-dietician from Colombia’s National University. I worked for many years in the public health department focusing on health education. I am an active member and supporter of the Catholic Church. I am married to Joe and we have been blessed with four great children, Susanna, Santiago, Esther, and Grace, who are part of Queen of Angels. In my spare time I like to exercise, listen to music, go on camping trips, and travel. I always welcome opportunities to be challenged to grow, learn, and dream! This is my second year teaching Spanish at QoA and I LOVE it! It is a pleasure to be part of the QoA family. I want to make Spanish meaningful and enhance the students’ ability to speak a new language.
