Berenice is a Dual Language Teacher who has been teaching in Dallas, TX since 2002. Fully bilingual in Spanish and English, she has had the opportunity of studying in the Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Monterey in Mexico as well as studying in Sevilla, Spain for one semester while in college.  She is a visionary teacher who believes in empowering students with their capacity to change the world.  Berenice perceives children as individuals whose unique perspectives and sensitivity can inspire activism when exposed to national and world issues.


An active Student Council advisor while at Brandenburg Elementary, she loves to encourage our young leaders towards the importance of student involvement within their communities. Through this vision she developed an extra curricular class after school called "Awakening Young Voices."  Her students worked on creating various multi media projects and filming documentaries inspired by personal dreams and current events on a global scale. Being part of GEEO's mission greatly resonates with her vision and belief of cultivating the potential of emerging leaders because the preparation of their minds will impact our nation as well as other nations.  Currently she is excited about this upcoming 2009 school year, working as a World History and Cultures Dual Language Teacher in Travis Middle School.
