About me
Maria Cristina currently provides professional learning opportunities to local and state agencies with dual language immersion programs – for teachers, to administrators and parents. Her initial years as an elementary bilingual teacher gave way to writing, leading and evaluating federal grants for one-way, as well as two-way, dual language programs in Spanish, Mandarin and French. She has also been a Coordinator/Director of World Language & Immersion Programs in a PK-12 school district. Her 30+ years of passion for the field has meant serving in advocacy positions such as President of the AZ Language Association, a JNCL Member, ACTFL Board Member, a NADSFL/NCSSFL Member and founded the AZ DLI Network. She grew up speaking Spanish and Hungarian before acquiring English as a young child here in the U.S.
