About me

By training and trade I am a multiliteracies and dual language specialist. At OSPI I support the development and expansion of sustainable TK-12 heritage and dual language programs and serve as a subject matter expert for dual language arts. My instructional languages are English and Spanish, but I support access and program development for all languages and language varieties-- especially those that have been historically underserved, are low incidence languages in Washington, or are less commonly taught/ less resourced languages in the US.
