Last October, I sat in my principal’s office feeling that there was something bigger waiting for me. “I love teaching Spanish, but I feel like I have met every goal, every milestone. What can I do to keep this up for another 15 years?” I asked. Her powerful response, “What are you passionate about? Find your passion.”

I have spent the last six months doing just that. I did the scariest thing any teacher could do.  I walked away after 21 years. I am a teacher. I am a Spanish teacher. I love everything about the culture & Spanish language (yep, especially the irregular verb conjugations!) It is such a part of my identity. I am a teacher of life and I am following my passions. Puente Cultural Integration was created to channel my passions and my energies.

I am connecting my passions and my strengths. Could your organization benefit from my skill set?

My strengths are:

• organizing people
• communicating
• problem-solving
• teaching cultures & language
• all things Latin American
• dynamic cross-cultural training

My passions are:

• the people & cultures of Latin America
• helping disadvantaged youth (both in the US & globally)
• travel
• education

I will be realistic about my path and I need to do more in this world.  My business cannot be about me.  There is something more out there.  Watch out world!
