I am Daniel Lopez, currently residing in Bloomington, MN, though my roots trace back to Mexico City. My professional journey in the United States began when I moved here at the age of 12, and over the past 12 years, I have become fluent in English, though Spanish remains my native language. I take pride in my ability to speak, read, and write in both languages with fluency. In my role as a Paraprofessional at ISLA, I am dedicated to supporting students in their educational journey. Additionally, I contribute to the Aventuras program, where I leverage my bilingual skills and cultural background to create enriching experiences for the children I work with. My passion for education is driven by a desire to foster meaningful relationships with students, ensuring they have a positive and impactful school experience. Outside of my professional life, I have a deep love for cooking, especially grilling, and I enjoy exploring new places through hiking and travel. Music is another passion of mine, and I find fulfillment in serving my community and helping those in need. I value honesty, positivity, and open-mindedness, and I strive to embody these principles in both my personal and professional life. As I continue to grow in my career, my goals for this year include developing strong relationships with the students I work with and expanding my professional skills. I am excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to making a positive impact on the lives of the children I serve.
