Ms. Thania comes to us with a wealth of professional experience. She began teaching Spanish in Ms. Joani's class in 2005. Now she directs daily Spanish immersion sessions in the elementary class.

Bilingual Administrative Assistant with more than twenty years of experience in multinational organizations as a provider of administrative support to members of their Board of Directors or Managing Staff, located in Colombia, South America until I recently moved to The United States January 2005.

I have built my career on my commitment and ability to create open lines of communication between the Board of Directors and senior management/customers to protect the investments of my organization and to assure the attainment of the target return. Equally important is my experience in technical and operations management and customer relations. Additionally, my interpersonal and communication skills are excellent and I take exceptional personal care and pride in my work.
