About me: I am a first year teacher, I graduated from BYU this year and I am excited to be teaching here at Spring Creek. I have four children, my oldest is 15, my second is 13 years old, followed by a 12 year old, and last but not least an 8 year old. They are all starting school as well and are happy to have a mom who is a teacher. My second son has special needs and working with children with special needs is not new to me. As a long time parent I have learned to notice each of my children’s special needs, as each one of them learn and express themselves in very individual ways. I am from Argentina and have been here in the States for 26 years. I love using my native language whenever possible. My degree is in Mild/Moderate Special Education with a K-12 TSOL (Teaching Students of Other Languages). I also have a Spanish Bilingual Endorsement.  I am looking forward to getting to know each of my students and working with them this year.
