Yani, a New Jersey native,
received her BSBA in Management from Bucknell
University and her MBA from University of Maryland,
College Park.  As the daughter of bilingual Costa Rican
parents, she was always exposed to the Spanish
language and Latin American culture. While deciding to
raise her own elementary-aged kids bilingual, Yani
uncovered research that illustrated the many benefits
of learning a foreign language, including academic and
cognitive benefits. She also learned that the earlier a
child is exposed to a foreign language, the easier it is
for the child to learn it. This research led her to build a
program that could expose not only her own children,
but others in the community, to the many life-long
benefits of learning a foreign language.  Yani’s children
are fluent in Spanish and are enrolled in the Mandarin
Chinese program.  Yani is a member of the American
Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language (ACFTL).
