Hola y bienvenidos,

 

I am extremely excited to begin my fourth year of teaching at McKenzie and Lincoln School! For those of you who may not know me, here is a little bit about me:

 

I was born into a Dominican family where I acquired Spanish naturally and later learned Italian in high school.  I adore learning new languages and hope to learn more languages as well as teach others how to love this incredible learning process.  I graduated from William Paterson University in May of 2020 with a double major in Early Childhood Education and Spanish as well as with ESL and Bilingual endorsements.  During my years there, I studied the structure of languages and how children acquire languages.  Combining both my personal experience with language learning as well as the knowledge I acquired in the field, I plan to teach for proficiency through classroom immersion that will be both natural and fun.

 

I look foward to working with all of you!
