Gaby, Teaching Assistant/Spanish Language
My name is Gabriela Bresciani. I'm from Peru and have lived in Colorado since 2002. I began working with children in Peru when I was in high school, tutoring elementary aged children. I attended the University of San Martin de Porres and studied Communication Sciences, Tourism, and Psychology for 5 years and one year of study in Accounting. For two years, I worked as an assistant Kindergarten teacher in a Peruvian-German school in Peru. I worked for Jefferson County Public Schools teaching an after school elementary Spanish Program. Since 2006, I have had the opportunity to work for Cornerstone Montessori School as a bilingual assistant. I worked in the Toddler Classroom for 3 years and now I am an assistant and teaching Spanish in a preschool classroom. I really enjoy being with the children and teaching them the Spanish language.
