Clarisa has also taught Spanish for homeschoolers in her community since 2001 and has written a curriculum targeted for that specific group.

Prior to having a family, Clarisa taught Spanish in the public school system and in private schools. She has had the privilege of taking her upper-level students on cultural trips to the island of Puerto Rico. Clarisa makes her home in Lovettsville, VA with her husband Vince and their daughter Ruby, who is last in the nest.
