I am entering my eleventh year teaching at H. T. Jaramillo Community School. The first four years I taught kindergarten - first grade bilingual. The past six yearsI taught second -third grade bilingual. I have my Tesol and Bilingual liscense.

I was a stay at home mom and raised my two daughters as well as helped take care of my grandchildren Before I became a teacher, I had a daycare in my home. I had the daycare for nine years. I entered school at the age of fifty. My two brothers and sister were educators in another state and I my dream was to be an eduator also. So with all my famil'ys encourgement I fullfilled my dream.. I am always eager to find new ways to help children learn. I tell my children not to ever forget where they came from or their language but that they can achieve their dreams with hard work. My interests are reading and going to Jazzercise. I also enjoy my seven great-grandchildren( not together) when I am able to. I live with my husband and ninety year old mom( my husband takes care ofher while I work).
