GATEway Jr Latin America

LET GATEway TAKE YOU THERE:
You thought that GATEway was on hold due to COVID-19? Think again! This summer, come on a magical journey with us as we virtually explore the marvels of Latin America. From the ​mariachi​ in México to the ​tango​ in Argentina, and mofongo​ in Puerto Rico to ​arepas​ in Colombia, and everything in between, this trek through Latin America will give you a thorough appreciation for an amazing land filled with history, culture, intriguing folklore, and tasty delicacies. As part of our journey together, GATEmates will come up with a proposal for a future GATEway Jr. site. Who knows? You may end up being the founder of a new chapter in the GATEway story!

    As the founder of Miami Country Day School’s GATEway program, I am continually energized, both professionally and personally, by the excitement I see on our students’ faces when they make the connections between what they have learned in class and what they find in authentic learning environments. Having coordinated and led numerous student experiences both abroad and at home, it has been my pleasure to bring new cultures to our students.Since arriving at Country Day in 2001, I have served as the Upper School Director, the World Languages Department Chair, and am thrilled to now serve as the Director of Global Studies & International Programs.. When people ask if I have kids, I am happy to say, “Not my own, but I have the pleasure of working with more than a thousand of them every day!!
