About Me:
My full name is Julián Eduardo Jaimes Soler, but everybody calls me Señor Julián. I am from Colombia (South America). I have been teaching for almost seventeen years. Before joining the Colfax family, I taught in a dual language school in North Carolina for five years and I also worked in a Dual Language School in St. Louis (Missouri) for one year. Since the time I began teaching in North Carolina, I fell in love with Dual Language and Bilingual Education. Also, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and in May 2020 I obtained a master’s degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speaking of Other Languages).

About Me:
As a young child, I had difficult circumstances I had to overcome when my father committed suicide when I was 8 years old. Having received an abundance of help from others, I knew I wanted to spend my days helping others overcome their adversity. I started my journey getting my Bachelor’s in Social Work and worked for the Phoenix Fire Department as a Trauma Response Team Member.
I got an opportunity to join Teach for America and move to the island of Hawai’i and teach at a Hawaiian Charter School. I spent 2 years there, learning the language, teaching elementary school and immersing myself in the culture. My school now, is unfortunately under lava, but the memories are still fond in my heart. I moved to Denver after and have been working with Denver Public Schools for 9 years and have spent 8 of those as a Colfax Tiger!
I am a mom of 4, ranging from 2 years old to 25 years old and 1 granddaughter. When I am not working I am in full mom mode; swim lessons, bike rides, days at the park, endless amounts of family celebrations and the occasional rest and relaxation at home with a good movie and some snuggles.
