WELCOME!!!
Hello,
I teach 2nd Grade and I am also a mentor teacher. This will be my seventh year at ASU Prep Academy. When I started at ASU I was an Instructional Assistant who helped grade levels from kindergarten through fifth grade. As an I.A. I ended up falling in love with the second grade curriculum and now I have been teaching it for 5 years. I have a Masters Degree in Education from ASU... so I am a true ASU fan! Go Devils!
I am from Brazil but I spent part of my childhood in Mexico City then moved back to Brazil and now I have been living in the US since 2008. I have lived in Washington DC (which is absolutely my favorite city) and San Diego before moving to Arizona. I have been married for five years with a wonderful husband. We have two adorable dogs which we rescued, Maya and Emma. When I am not teaching or studying, I enjoy reading books, meditating, going to the movies, playing games and relaxing by the pool. A fun fact about me is that I speak 3 languages, sometimes at the same time. LOL!
I absolutely love teaching second grade! It is my mission to instill a love for learning into my students. I attempt to teach them with passion so my students develop a desire to become lifelong learners who will graduate college and help their community.
