| Introduction | For the last 11 years, I've had the privilege of being the school counselor at one the most amazing k8 bilingual schools on Milwaukee’s south side, Escuela Vieau. I have a masters degree in ed psych & counseling; undergraduate degrees in early childhood ed & elementary education. I have taught in IN, WI, & Saudi Arabia and have traveled to nearly every place I have dreamed of traveling to. I’m married to my soul mate and the mother of three very well turned-out children. I’m a Nonna to 7 incredible grandchildren – four of which are twins. My oldest daughter and I share the status of “mothers of twins.” My family is the light of my life. Working with the students and families at work is a passion for me and I love going to work everyday. I've never had a boring day! |
