Maria Clara Rekow was born in Bogota, Colombia where she lived for 26 years. Later she moved to the United States where she has lived in three different states. She has been an educator for over 30 years, and has taught students of all ages and levels. What she loves about being an educator is the opportunity to make a difference in her students’ lives and help them think beyond themselves and have meaningful interactions among themselves and with members of the bigger community. She holds a BA in Philology and Languages from Universidad Nacional de Colombia, and a MA in Teaching with emphasis in Spanish from the School for International Training in Vermont. When she is not teaching she spends time with her passions which are dancing, reading, doing jigsaw puzzles and most importantly, sharing quality time with her 20 year old.
