Summary
As an experienced educator, I am dedicated to supporting vulnerable children and families through innovative teaching methods and emotional support. I provide academic guidance to parents, particularly for students with attention deficits, and have authored books and resources aimed at helping children impacted by violence and migration. With a passion for fostering creativity and engagement in students, I created the pedagogical strategy 'La Caja Mágica del Saber' and founded 'Alma y Pluma' in Duluth, GA. Additionally, I offer spiritual and emotional support as a catechist in the migrant community.
