Bronx-born and Brooklyn-raised, my brothers and sisters call me a ***KNOW-IT-ALL***. I prefer CURIOUS. As a STUDENT, I want to be EXCEPTIONAL, but I do not like to study so I write down everything, sometimes in Spanish, sometimes in English. My superpower as an EDUCATOR is using everyday experiences to share who we are and what WE KNOW. My not-so-secret mission in life is to prove that LEARNING = EXCITING. Thank you for joining me on this chapter of my adventure. Here we go!
