About

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a BS in Information Science and Data Science in May 2024. I also completed a minor in Computer Science. I’m excited to be continuing my career in education as a substitute teacher with Denver Public Schools. I hope to meaningfully impact the schools and communities I assist. I also have teaching experience in STEM subjects. In the kitchen, I never sacrifice quality for anything. I work deliberately and with an acute attention to detail. I ensure my food and my work are safe for my customers and colleagues. I speak Spanish at both of my jobs, and am currently taking classes at Colorado Free University. I’m learning terms I probably shouldn’t in the kitchen, and getting made fun of by children in the classroom when making mistakes or inadvertently inventing new words, but loving it all the while. ¡La lucha sigue!
