ABOUT ME
​
¡Hola! I'm Erika Vélez, I was born and raised in a small fishing village on the northern part of Ecuador until I was ten years old; which was when I moved to the USA.
I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Spanish from New Jersey City University and currently I am a candidate for a Master's degree in Education, specializing in World Languages. I currently teach Spanish at Sussex-Wantage School District in Sussex County, New Jersey. I love helping my students learn Spanish and enjoy seeing them succeed.
​
When I am not teaching I like to spend time with my four children and loving husband. Other hobbies include, dancing, photography and traveling.
Learning Culture through Language

"I love watching documentaries about history."
"As a child I had many pets, including dogs, cats, iguanas, doves, cows, pigs, chickens and my favorite a rooster named PetyLu."
