I am Flor Angela Espinosa Perez. I am fluently bilingual and multicultural. I grew up in Cartagena, Colombia. I moved to the United States in 2010 and I started going to adult education in Groton, CT. In 2016 I went to TCC in Virginia Beach, VA. for ESL and in 2022 I joined the Monarch Family. The reason that took me long time to finish my professional education in the United States is that my husband serves in the US NAVY. Now that we are stablish in Virginia, is my opportunity to finally get my degree.
I have a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, I obtain this degree in Colombia. I worked in two different schools in Cartagena, Colombia for four years. I worked two years with three year old students and the other two I worked as a Spanish, English, reading and writing teacher for third, fourth and fifth graders. Also, I worked one extra year a tutor for students on third and fifth grade. While working as a teacher, I was attending college. The University let me work because I had a high GPA, that I keep until now.
while working at those different schools, I develop educational projects with the students. The projects were the following:

while working at those different schools, I develop educational projects with the students. The projects were the following:
- Military Forces of Colombia. This project was based on the learning about how Colombian military forces. were constituted, the purpose and its representative symbols.
- Folkloric Dances of the Colombian Caribbean coast. This project allowed pre-kindergarten students to learn more about the folklore of our Caribbean coast in terms of dances, clothing and typical instruments of the Colombian Caribbean coast and ended with students giving a sample of how the cumbia is danced.
- Care that we must have on the street and at home. This project is based on the dangers we must avoid both at home and on the street to prevent accidents. At the end of the project, the students presented what they had learned in front of their parents.
- Childhood games that our parents used to play in the outdoors. In this project, the students learned to play all those games that were forgotten over time that our parents used to play. At the end of the project, the students show their parents the games learn in class.
- The arborization. I developed this project with third, fourth and fifth grade students during the last two semesters of university in which they learned everything related to trees and the importance they have for the environment, for this I had the help of a agricultural engineer. The project was concluded with a tree planting day in which the students planted trees around the school.
