BIO
I’m a native of Panama and I travel to visit my family and homeland as frequently as I can. I am the proud parent of four adults and six wonderful grandchildren. I am retired now but taught Spanish and ELL for nearly 30 years. I currently write picture books for children in Español and English, and also sell my self-created Spanish teaching materials through a company called TeacherspayTeachers. In 2014 I was awarded the New Hampshire Teacher-of-the-Year Award and in 2015 received the New Hampshire Excellence in Education Award. In 2019 I won a 12 x 12 Picture Book Challenge Diversity Scholarship.
BILINGUAL CHILDREN’S PICTURE BOOK WRITER (ENGLISH/SPANISH)
Words that describe me: Devoted mother, wife and grandmother, loyal friend, huge reader and writer, thinker, avid traveler, immigrant to the US from Panama, dreamer, doer, and former teacher of Spanish and ELL (English Language Learners) (all levels and all ages – grade one through graduate students)
Currently in search of an agent that can represent me with enthusiasm and understanding. Someone who can be my biggest advocate!
