Vivi is from Sámara, and considers herself to be a sociable and kind person who loves to interact with people. She first graduated with a BS in Clinical Psychology from the Universad Latina de Costa Rica, before continuing on to get her postgraduate teaching credential at the Universidad de San José. After growing grown up in a multicultural community like Sámara, Vivi realized that her passion was to share her beautiful language with others, which is what led her to study Teaching Spanish as a Second Language. In her free time, Vivi enjoys walking the beach with her dogs and quality time with her family and friends.

"Viviana was fantastic. She was approachable and patient, explaining things in different ways (in Spanish) until we understood. She's sweet and energetic and I'm very glad she was my teacher." - Tracey Burk, 2024
