📚 Where I have taught: 
I have been teaching on Outschool for 5 years but have also had the opportunity to work in person with a wide range of ages from toddlers to highschool students and even adults pursuing their GED. I have also had the privilege to own a daycare center/preschool academy. This has formed a special place in my heart for early childhood education.  I have hosted a variety of workshops and classes in Spanish for couples, families and leaders at church as well.  Currently, I homeschool my own child and I run two private book clubs; one for adult women and one for bilingual teens. I also host private virtual crafting parties and volunteer my time for digital design with a non-profit.
