¡Hola! Mi nombre es Marcela Ellis, soy estudiante del programa de posgrado en español en la UNCW en mi primer año. Soy originaria de Ecuador, pero me mudé aquí en 2010 cuando tenía 38 años. En Ecuador obtuve mi licenciatura en psicología con enfoque en educación. He sido educadora durante la mayor parte de mi vida profesional y disfruto enseñando y trabajando individualmente con los estudiantes para ayudarlos a alcanzar sus metas. Tengo 2 hijas y disfruto pasar tiempo con mi familia. Me encanta hacer caminatas, salir a la naturaleza y tejer. Espero poder ayudaros a todos con sus preguntas en español y estoy deseando empezar.
