    A little extra-summarized bit about me: I was born and raised in El Salvador and emigrated to the United States as a young adult. Since then, I got married to Miguel, had three beautiful kids of our own (two boys and one girl), and got my degree at SFSU (Go Gators!). And with more than 25 years of experience as a teacher in early childhood education and a BA in Early Childhood Education, it may be no surprise to anyone that I just love helping little kids grow and reach their potential. 

    Aside from my passion for teaching, I love trying new restaurants with my family, traveling to different countries, and going on long walks.

    My story is really similar to Graciela's - in fact, we actually met in high school in El Salvador!

    Prior to joining Mi Second Casa, I was a manager at Xerox for more than 10 years, working in various corporate offices such as Siebel, Intel, and Sutter Health. However, after doing that for some time, I knew that I wanted something more so in 2012 I decided to join Mi Second Casa full time as a teacher and I haven't looked back since.

    I have enjoyed it so much that I went to Cañada College to recieve 24 units in Early Childhood Education. It gives me great joy in being able to impact these young children's lives positively and it is something that I have always cherished.

    When I'm not working you can find me watching a Warriors game, fishing with my kids, or trying to keep up with Graciela on her long walks 😁

    Hi there! My name is Michael and I am the newest staff member of Mi Second Casa.

    Before joining Mi Second Casa, I earned my BA in Economics at Sac State and worked in state government for a few years. While I valued my time there, I discovered my true passion: helping children learn and providing families with quality care.

    In addition to my undergrad, I hold a Child Development Site Supervisor Permit from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, which qualifies me to serve as a childcare center director. Additionally, I worked as a Teacher Aide in the infant and toddler program at a non-profit childcare center in Oakland, CA for five months.

    Outside of work, I love being active and you can find me playing pick up basketball or running. I also really enjoy traveling, reading and rooting for the Niners and Warriors!
