My Story of Faith, Teaching, and Transformation

from From the Islands to America: Faith, Teaching, and Transformation · host Arthur Ballos

I came to the U.S. as a J1 visa teacher, uncertain if I would even last a year. Through God’s grace, perseverance, and calling, I earned my Master’s, Doctorate, National Board Certification, and was humbled to be a PAEMST state finalist. Today, I also serve as a priest in the ICCEC, living out my vocation in both the church and the classroom.
