Meet dany.
Lidera la programación y traducción en español para que los recursos de JAMUN lleguen a los estudiantes cuyo primer idioma no es el inglés.
What dany does at JAMUN.
I co-lead JAMUN's multilingual programming with Bella. Together we make sure that a student whose first language is Spanish never has to choose between competing well and feeling at home in the room. That means translated curriculum, bilingual coaches, and conferences where parents can ask real questions in the language they live in.
Multilingual programming isn't a checkbox — it's a promise that the door is actually open. My job is making sure that promise holds at every step, from the first email home to the closing-ceremony gavel.
Translation is the easy part. Belonging is the work.
Codirector de Programación Multilingüe.
“Translation is the easy part. Belonging is the work.”
What dany spends time on.
The work behind the role. Four areas where most of the hours go.
Spanish curriculum
Translating and adapting every training doc, packet, and rubric.
Family outreach
Communicating with parents in their first language, not ours.
Partner schools
Building relationships with Spanish-speaking schools and educators.
Multilingual events
Running bilingual practices and committees that feel native, not translated.
