💗 A little about me:
Other than art and landscape photography, I have a passion for nutrition, translation and simultaneous interpretation, serving others through child/senior care, reading, crafting, hospitality and Christian ministry/theology. 
My calm, kind and friendly personality is sure to appeal to a variety of students. I have been described as " a natural encourager" and work hard at creating a positive learning environment in order to promote student participation. I promise to always treat your learner with the respect and love they deserve. 
I hope to see you and your child soon in one of my classes.  "Let's enrich each other's lives. Join me in a class"-Zia

📚 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.
