 "Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom."  -George Washington Carver

 I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I am very proud to be an "American Citizen by choice". I have been teaching since 1977 and Education is my passion. I love to sing, play the piano, swim, watch movies and sport competitions. I speak five languages and have traveled to many countries. Technology is strongly present in my ESOL class. I have three Bachelor Degrees and a Master's Degree in Education with Application of Technology. I am very proud to be part of the GFPS and be able to help immigrants in Great Falls, MT, to adapt themselves to their new community through the ESOL classes at MSU/COT.
