Personal Information:

First and foremost, I am a mother who loves her family and has come from a strong family background. I am also a Portuguese immigrant who lived in the United States and is a dual citizen. This has given me a life perspective and opportunities that I would not have had otherwise. I love traveling, cooking, animals (dogs in particular), reading, and spending quality time with friends and family. I was raised on a farm, and am a country person at heart. Being an ESL instructor gave me a window to the world, which I find fascinating. When not working, I love the beach and grilled sardines (Portuguese thing here). I have been blessed to raise bicultural daughters who enjoy traveling as much as I do. One graduated from UC Berkeley, and the other is currently studying at LIPA in Liverpool. I am easygoing and flexible and hopefully an asset to your institution.

Curriculum Supervisor, Teacher Training, Placement Testing, HR Analyst, Recruiter.
