Lead Educator - Alfredo Cervantes
Raised as a child in southwest Denver, Alfredo shares that he originally learned English by watching cartoons! Now years later, he and his wife have chosen to raise their daughters in the area as well. La Luz really appealed to Alfredo because it is serving students directly in his own community. He has a bachelors degree in molecular biology and an MA in medical science. Alfredo got his start in education at GALS as a middle school science teacher and worked there for four years. His favorite hobby is figuring out how things work. Alfredo was ecstatic when he found out that the parents and students at La Luz had chosen him as their lead educator. He promises he will not let them down!
