I moved to Olympia, Washington from Costa Rica in 1994. Before coming to Olympia, I attended law school in Costa Rica. In 2000, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from The Evergreen State College. I speak Spanish and some Portuguese and have worked as a Washington Certified interpreter and translator for the past 20 years. We own a Language business in town and also worked as an instructor there. I co-taught lower elementary with Miss Sabatini for the past couple of years at ORLA Montessori. I am an AMI Primary Montessori trained teacher. During my free time, I like to take long walks with my family. I enjoy visits to the ocean and absolutely love road trips.
