ABOUT ME

​

Hola! My name is Mónica Pinto-Moe, the new Multilingual Lead at Richfield Public Schools.I am originally from Bogota, Colombia. I moved to United States back in 2001 with the hope to improve my English and learn about the American culture. I live in Burnsville with my husband Kristian (a huge Packer fan!) and only son Santiago, who is third grader at Richfield Dual Language school.
