Originally from Peru, I spent my formative years growing up in Northern Virginia. Transitioning from a part-time junior high dance teacher, I embarked on a fulfilling journey to become a full-time math educator, and now a school administrator. Along the way, I pursued my education in graduate school and earned two master’s degrees: one in Math Education and a second one in Educational Leadership. My education and experiences in teaching have shaped a profound belief: effective teaching is inherently equitable. I have cultivated a perspective centered on the idea that good teaching goes hand in hand with equity. I view my role not just as a school administrator, but as a facilitator of an inclusive environment that ensures equal access and fosters a profound sense of belonging for both students and fellow educators alike.
