After moving to the United States, I earned a B.A. in Children’s Studies from Eastern Washington University and gained experience across early childhood education—from nanny and teaching assistant to Spanish teacher. Today, I’m proud to lead Kids’ Mundo, where I combine my professional experience and personal passion to nurture and inspire young learners.

Being a mom to two amazing sons has further shaped my approach, reminding me every day of the joy and importance of guiding children as they grow.
