With Nicaraguan roots and an American heart, I walk this journey grateful — carrying the dreams of freedom, justice, and inclusion wherever I go. 🇺🇸
This 4th of July, I honor not just a nation, but the vision it dares to live up to:

Today is #WorldMigratoryBirdDay.
This year's theme: Every Bird Counts - Your Observations Matter.
One sighting logged by a birdwatcher becomes data. Enough data becomes evidence. Evidence shapes the policies that protect flyways.

Plastic pollution is a growing problem for wildlife across the Caribbean.
In St. Maarten, EPIC has helped recycle nearly 1.75 tons of plastic waste, keeping it out of coastal areas and away from wildlife.

🌍🐦 World Migratory Bird Day
The Caribbean is a vital wintering ground and stopover for migratory birds — from Blackpoll & Cape May Warblers to Whimbrels, Red Knots, Indigo Buntings, American Redstarts, and more.
Protecting habitats protects the flyway.

A land where all belong,
Where liberty is shared,
And where voices rise not in uniformity, but in harmony.
This photo was taken in Uruguay, where I recently served as a Fulbright Teacher — a reminder that the ideals we cherish have no borders, only bridges.
May we keep building the country we believe in.
Happy Independence Day.

1/ June 23–25 marked the end of an unforgettable Fulbright journey in Uruguay. Each group—Salto, Rivera, Minas & Maldonado—shared moving presentations about their time with local teachers & students. #FulbrightTGC #GlobalClassrooms
6/ On June 25, we flew through Brazil and made our way home—to Atlanta, then Virginia—filled with memories, inspiration, and a deeper sense of global community. #TeacherExchange #FulbrightUruguay
7/ This journey has been truly transformative. ¡Gracias, Uruguay! Thank you, Fulbright, for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 💙🇺🇾🇺🇸 #FromUruguayWithLove #GratefulEducator
2/ After 20 days together, it was time to say goodbye. Teachers headed back to states across the U.S.—some as far as Hawaii! I didn’t just learn about Uruguay—I learned about every state represented in our cohort. #CulturalExchange
June 22 🇺🇾 Today we reflected on our Fulbright journey in Montevideo & Maldonado and planned our final presentation. In the evening, we were surprised with a stunning performance of Metrópolis at SODRE—live orchestra + film = unforgettable! 🎶🎬 #FulbrightTeacher
