I have been working in Education for nearly 30 years in various positions. I started as a Spanish tutor at Lake Tahoe Community College where my passion for teaching began. I then went on to teach Spanish at the public schools and then back to LTCC as a Spanish Instructor. In early 2000, I started teaching preschool Spanish and that’s where I found my love for the preschool age children. I owned Academy of Language and Arts that held classes at Sierra House Elementary and South Tahoe Recreation Center 2008-2016. In addition to Academy of Language and Arts, I was an instructor at LTCC for the Early Childhood Education Department.  In 2016, I opened Appleseeds Academy and have remained the administrator/director for the school.
