My name is Maria. I was born in Honduras, Central America. I grew up in Santa Lucía, a small town close to the capital city, Tegucigalpa. 

I got a bachelor’s degree in Communication and Advertising, but right before graduating, I accepted a subbing spot in an elementary school. The temporary job turned into a long term career! So far, I have been teaching for almost 20 years.

I have done studies in ESL and psycho-pedagogy. I love teaching language arts and math. My favorite moment of the school day is read-a-loud time!

In 2010 I married the love of my life, Norman. We are blessed to raise two curious, witty and loving boys: David and Samuel. We enjoy watching movies, eating ice cream and visiting new places. 

Our family moved to Muskegon the fall of 2021, since then I’ve been teaching at MCS. I feel honored to be part of this growing community where I can share my culture, language and faith.

My deep hope is that my students recognize that God is their Father and He walks with them STEP BY STEP providing them love, safety and hope.
