Welcome to the start of a great school year! I am very excited to be your child’s teacher and look forward to getting to know the students. This is my 6th year teaching at Stony Creek Elementary School. I grew up in Colombia and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Modern Languages from the University of Caldas. After graduating in 2007, I moved to Chicago, where I now live with my husband, Stanley, my daughter, Luciana, and my son, Sebastian. I enjoy reading, playing board games with my kids, cooking, and spending time with my family.
I believe in the growth and development of all students, and I am very dedicated to making this a productive and enjoyable year for your child. Together, we can accomplish every goal we set as a class. Through our combined efforts—students working hard in class, parents providing encouragement at home, and my ongoing support as your child's teacher—we form a team focused on your child's success. Regular and open communication among us is essential to help your child thrive. Your child's success, safety, and happiness are my top priority.
