Hello!

My name is Daniela Rodriguez, I am currently a student at SUNY New Paltz. I want to become an educator for young children, being Hispanic I have a passion for culture and languages and hope to englighten and educate young kids in Spanish and it’s culture.

I was born in Colombia, a country in South America and my family decided to move to the U.S.A when I was eight years old. It took some time to adjust to the differences in culture and specially the language. Coming from another country I have always been open minded and accepting to challenges, and I enjoy learning about the differences in the world.

Growing up I have developed a passion for sports and music. I often enjoy playing soccer, and softball, and participating in outdoor activities; running, snowboarding, hiking. With music I have learned to adapt to different kinds of songs, rhythms and sytles, my favorites are pop, edm, throwbacks and pop-country.

I have two younger siblings that are currently 7 and 5, and they have inspired me to make a difference in the next generation by educating the youth and hopefully inspiring them to make a difference in themselves and the world.
