    Nelson Favela-4th grade Dual language Literacy, Social Studies

    Buenos dias!  My name is Nelson Favela and this is my fifth year as an educator, all five at DeZavala!  I was born and raised in Aurora, IL (Party on Garth!), a small suburb of Chicago.  I moved to Texas in 2003 and attended UTA, where I majored in International Business and Spanish.  Immediately after graduation, I decided teaching is where my passion truly lies and completed my alternative certification. I enjoy arts and crafts!
