Luisa joined Rodeph Sholom School in 2017. She holds a Ph.D. in 17th Century French and Spanish Literature and Theater from Cornell University, where she also earned her master’s degree, and a second master’s degree from L’Université d’Avignon in France in 20th Century French theater. What she loves most about Rodeph Sholom School is that it is both rigorous and fun—she finds the students amazing and loves coming to work each day. Luisa has the distinction of being the first Middle School faculty member who speaks four languages, being fluent in Spanish, French, Portuguese, and English. Her passion for the study of language is evident in all of her scholarly pursuits, and she is currently a member of an all-French improvisational troupe in Manhattan.
