| More About Me |
I am a teacher of Latinx minority students at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago. Currently, I am doing a master of arts in teaching Spanish to Heritage at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I am planning to graduate in the Spring of 2023. At grad school, I am also on the track to obtain a professional educator license in the state of Illinois. I graduated with a degree in Communication from Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico. I´ve been teaching in catholic schools in the Chicagoland area for five years. In my previous career, I was a Spanish-language television investigative news reporter. I was the recipient of seven Chicago regional Emmy awards.
