Welcome!
I am very fortunate to be teaching English as a Second Language this
year at Northwoods Elementary School. Our
school serves many foreign students; the composition of my class resembles the
United Nations. This means, English is the only possible medium of
communication among my students. This situation forces them to use
English frequently both in and out of my class. Therefore, this year will be
filled with rewarding challenges. You will see great gains in your
child's listening, speaking, reading and writing in English. The most significant factors to succeed in learning English are to be a responsible student and to become an independent learner.
I am a native of Panama, Republic of Panama, and hold a Standard English as a Second Language license, a Standard Spanish license, and a Masters degree in reading and writing from UNC-Chapel Hill. I have over thirteen years teaching experience in the North Carolina Public School System. I have also been part of the North Carolina Society of Hispanic Professionals for over 9 years promoting Education among Hispanic students. I have two daughters and three grandchildren. I enjoy traveling with family and friends; I love walking, reading, cooking, and spending time outside when I am not at school. I live in Cary with my husband Tom. I am thrilled to be a part of Northwoods Elementary!
If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected], or you may call 919-380-6955. Due to our schedule, phone calls and emails will be answered after the school day ends. Thank you for your understanding.
