What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create engaging, inclusive language-learning experiences for culturally and linguistically diverse learners, helping them build communication skills and confidence in a positive, collaborative environment.

I've taught English, French, and Spanish across preschool, primary, secondary, and university settings, creating language-rich experiences that build communication and confidence.

At Gimnasio Internacional de Medellín, I launched the French curriculum for 10th and 11th graders while teaching English from preschool through 9th grade. I used literature, immersion, and intercultural approaches to make language learning relevant and engaging.

As a trilingual homeroom teacher at Colegio Ferrini Bilingüe and a bilingual preschool teacher at Colegio Cumbres Medellín, I supported students' academic, linguistic, and social development through communicative, learner-centered instruction.

I'm completing a Master’s in Early Language Education for Intercultural Communication and bring experience working with multicultural learners, families, and international teams. I'm passionate about helping learners achieve their personal and professional language goals in positive, motivating environments.
