Indi Avila grew up in a Spanish speaking home in Miami, FL. Her Cuban family wished fervently that she be brought up knowing the language and traditions of their homeland.
She graduated with honors from Georgetown University with a BA in French. She then obtained a Masters in Education at Harvard University.
Since 1998 Indi has taught languages to children and adults. She lives in Southern California with her daughter, whose boo-boos she has made all better by using the traditional "Sana, sana colita de rana" rhyme.
Indi's enthusiasm, creativity and love for languages inspire her to share language and culture through teaching and storytelling.
