Why do you like teaching Spanish?
I'm learning something new every day and I love to share that with someone. In this case, Spanish! If you want to learn Spanish, I'd love to guide you to the Hispanic world. And remember, every culture is very unique and the best way to get to know it is, communicating with it.
What are the challenges of being a Spanish instructor?
"What's his/her learning objective? How do we achieve it? How much time do we have?" These are a part of questions that I ask myself with each student. It all depends on needs of each student and I can't just apply a cookie-cutter solution to them because each student is different. But my greatest satisfaction as a Spanish language instructor would be filling their needs and questions that they may encounter in their learning process.
How do you make your class interesting?
We will start from appropriate level where my student will feel comfortable and reviewing the basics of Spanish so that we can go over all the points of interest for my student. As a guide for my student's learning, I will use all the methodologies that will be positive and best fit for him or her.
What do you do to grow as a professional and person?
I love studying other languages and reading too. I like listening to instrumental music. I also like to drive around, swim and cook.
What would you do if you have only one more week of life?
Just like what I'm doing right now. I always live for today.
What is the best of Xela?

What were you doing 15 years ago?
I was in school learning to read and write. I was living in the department of San Marcos (neighboring department of Quetzaltenango). There was a small hill near my home and my sister and I used to play there. That was best time of my life.
What will you be doing in 15 years down the road?
I will be in the Congress of the Republic of Guatemala. With my sister, I will be taking vacation in Brazil where I will have a beautiful house in the ocean front.
Who is/was the most influential person in your life?
The most influential person in my life is my sister. She is always with me and motivates me to work harder. I love her and I can't imagine my life without her.
