Through love, laughter, and enthusiasm, Magally strives to instill a lifelong love of learning in her students. She began teaching Spanish at The Denver Waldorf School (DWS) in 2001 before becoming a class teacher for Grades 1-8. As a native Spanish speaker, Magally loves bringing stories, songs, and dances of the Spanish-speaking and Indigenous Peoples to her students and community through story, song, and dance.

Magally has been part of the Waldorf Spanish Teachers Association for many years. She co-chairs the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America’s (AWSNA) BIPOC Affinity Group. She is working closely with AWSNA to increase the lens of diversity in the Waldorf curriculum in North America. She is also helping to develop programs to support teachers of color in Waldorf schools. Additionally, Magally collaborated with the Longmont Conflict Center and Denver Conflict Center to bring Restorative Practices to DWS.

With a BFA in Dance in Indo-Afro-American culture from the University of Colorado in Boulder, CU Boulder, Magally explores cultures and anthroposophy to enrich her work in the classroom and DWS’ Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity Committee. Outside of the classroom, Magally sings with her Salsa band and performs in theatrical productions, giving a voice to stories that include those of Spanish-speaking and Indigenous peoples of America.
