My name is Maria Marisol Senecal-Mariscal. Currently, I have taught for 12 years private and group classes part-time in Spanish, ESL, and Italian for Culture and Languages LLC, which I am the founder and CEO. I have been teaching in the Denver Metro Area for the last Sixteen years and a total of twenty years in the USA. From children to adults of all ages. Education settings from K-12, university level, and seniors as well.
I hold a Master’s degree in Political Science and a licentiate Bachelor’s in Journalism. Born and lived in Mexico City for twenty-nine years, I achieved being a political advisor for candidates running for the presidency, a professor, and a journalist. I came to the USA where my passions are teaching, learning languages, traveling, and bringing communities together.
As a backpacker, I explored Mexico, Europe, and the United States in 1999. I am a very patient, passionate, and dedicated language teacher.
Activities I enjoy doing are swimming, reading, traveling, studying, languages, cooking, adventure, and learning.
My teaching career began in Aurora, Colorado where I spent 15 years teaching low income students, second language learners, and refugee students. This year will be my tenth year at Carson. I received my bachelor’s degree from Metro State and my masters degree from Mississippi State. I am also a certified yoga instructor and SEL facilitator through Breathe For Change.
In my free time you can find me spending time with my husband Derek and my silly, oversized dog Roo. I love to camp, hike, paddleboard, run (sometimes), do yoga, crochet, read, craft, and bake. I am also studying Norwegian and you can almost always find me listening to my favorite band; a-ha!!

Inspiring kids to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and compassionate global citizens is my greatest passion! This is my thirteenth year teaching at Carson and my 7th year as an instructional coach. I earned my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education at the University of Colorado, Boulder and my Masters in Reading and Writing Curriculum & Instruction from the University of Colorado, Denver. I’m grateful to have had such formative experiences volunteering with students all around the world!
When I’m not at my “second home” (Carson), I am outside enjoying a book, bike ride, ski run, or tennis game with family or friends! My husband and I are thrilled to be welcoming a daughter into the world in September!
