Second Grade
Segundo grado

I grew up in Winfield, IL and West Chicago, IL.  I have lived in four countries outside of the U.S.: Spain, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Thailand.  I love traveling to new places and trying new things.  

I studied Spanish in high school, and I a spent a summer living in Costa Rica with a host family when I was 17.  This sparked my love for languages and cultures and helped determine my college major!  I studied Bilingual/Bicultural Education at Western Illinois University and have taught in various transitional bilingual, ESL, and dual language programs over the past 17 years.

Previously, I taught in Aurora, IL and Denver, CO.  I then spent time teaching in Hat Yai, Thailand.   I loved my time in Thailand, but I was happy to return to Chicago in 2014 to begin working at Bateman Elementary!  I completed a Masters degree in 2016 in Literacy, Language, and Culture.

​My favorite thing about teaching is seeing kids grow in their confidence, courage, and compassion for others.


Crecí en Winfield, Illinois, y West Chicago, Illinois. He vivido en cuatro países fuera de EE. UU.: España, México, Costa Rica y Tailandia. Me encanta viajar a nuevos lugares y experimentar cosas nuevas.

Estudié español en el secundario y pasé un verano viviendo en Costa Rica con una familia costarricense a los 17 años. Esto despertó mi amor por los idiomas y las culturas, y me ayudó a decidir mi carrera universitaria. Estudié Educación Bilingüe/Bicultural en la Universidad de Western Illinois y he enseñado clases en varios programas bilingües de transición, inglés como segundo idioma (ESL) y de lenguaje dual durante los últimos 17 años.

Anteriormente, impartí clases en Aurora, Illinois, y Denver, Colorado. Después, trabajé un tiempo enseñando en Hat Yai, Tailandia. Disfruté mucho mi tiempo en Tailandia, pero me alegró regresar a Chicago en 2014 para empezar a trabajar en la Escuela Primaria Bateman. En 2016, completé una maestría en Lectoescritura, Lengua y Cultura.

Lo que más me gusta de la enseñanza es ver cómo los niños desarrollan su confianza, valentía y compasión por los demás.

Classroom Info
​Información sobre el salón 

In second grade we focus a lot on supporting our ideas with evidence. We are always asking "How do you know?"

We also work hard to continue building students' independence and responsibility. They learn how to choose strategies that will help them read and understand independently, how to continue trying to solve difficult problems in math, and how to repair disputes between friends. 

En segundo grado enfocamos mucho en apoyar nuestras ideas con evidencia. Siempre preguntamos "¿Cómo lo sabes?"

También trabajamos mucho para seguir creciendo la independencia y responsabilidad de los estudiantes. Ellos aprenden como elegir estrategias para ayudarles a leer y entender independientemente, aprenden como seguir intentando para resolver problemas difíciles en matemáticas, y aprenden como reparar los daños emocionales entre amigos.
