Primary Counselor
I am excited to start working as a Primary Counselor at Country Day School with a wonderful group of veteran faculty members.
First Grade Teacher
While I was studying International Relations at the U.A.C.A. University in San José, Costa Rica, I was asked to work as a teacher’s assistant at Lincoln School. This prospect was very exciting to me as it meant returning to the school that I had graduated from and held fond memories of. To my surprise, on the first day on the job, I realized that I had found my true passion.
Elementary Assistant
I am the oldest daughter of my beautiful family of 8 members; as well, I’m a mom of a 5 years old boy, my Thiago. In 2018, I graduated from high school in Nuestra Señora del Pilar School, in Escazú. That same year, I started missionary work in different places in Costa Rica. I went every year for four years and my heart was touched by every single child that I met. They each had different stories and different lifestyles, but always the same love and sincerity. I knew that my life was destined to work with children. I have a degree in preschool assistant program from Universidad Juan Pablo ll.
I currently love working with international children and was fortunate to have my two children also join me in this excellent school. I have met and experienced great families and friends, through these past twenty years.
