LET'S LEARN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR ASSISTANTS
ASHLEY MÉNDEZ
Hello! My name is Ashley Méndez Ruiz. I have been an auxiliar at Ramón Gómez de la Serna for two years, and I am happy to renew at this amazing school for a third one. I am 24 years old, and I was born and raised in Puerto Rico.
I moved to Pennsylvania to pursue a college career. I graduated from Arcadia University on May 2017 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and Sociology. I am currently finishing up a Masters Degree in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
I enjoy playing volleyball, baseball, basketball and swimming. I played volleyball for over 10 years, and coached for five years. Which is why I collaborate with the Physical Education Department at Ramón Gómez de la Serna during those units classes.
Teaching is one of my biggest passions. Working hands on with my students, and knowing I am having a positive impact on their life is deeply fulfilling and has help me grow during the past two years in many levels. I love seeing how my students grown and improve their English skills.
I look forward to next year!
ASHLEY LACOURSE
A 28 year old from Orlando Florida, USA. I have worked in the classroom for over ten years, I graduated with a bachelors degree in Psychology from Florida Atlantic University in 2014 and have been fortunate enough to teach English here in Spain for the last three years. It truly has been an honor to spend this last school year with the staff and students here at Ramón Gómez de la Serna.
