Salazar, Monica
Bilingual Early Childhood Coordinator
I love nature and taking my dog out for walks. I love flowers and my favorite are tulips. I love baseball and would love to visit all the ball parks in the United States. I am in a bowling league with my husband; I am not very good at it, but I try and have fun with it. In my spare time, I like getting cozy with a book and coffee or tea. I read books on mental health and anything that encourages how to be and feel better about yourself. I love children and being a witness to their growth and development. I also Love to guide and inspire adult learners on how to be intentional teachers and make a positive impact on the children they serve.
