I studied Art and Literature at Andres Bello Catholic University in Caracas, Venezuela and earned a certification in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language from IHL in 2011.

My journey in education began in 2006 when I embarked on a teaching career, initially instructing High School students in Latin. This experience spanned the next 8 years of my professional life. In 2014, an exciting opportunity arose for me to share my passion for Art with preschoolers, and that's when my heart truly connected with these young learners.

Upon relocating, my dedication to nurturing young minds led me to continue my role as a preschool teacher. In January 2020, I joined APA Academy as an assistant teacher for Middle School, which evolved into my fulfilling role as the Art and Spanish Teacher throughout the past years.

My commitment to fostering creativity and education remains unwavering.

In our creative space, we offer a variety of workshops designed to inspire, educate, and entertain the little ones while practicing speaking and expressing themselves in Spanish. From art workshops that encourage creative expression to science activities that awaken curiosity, our programs are designed for children to learn while having fun.
