Hi! My name is Michelle Emanuelli - originally from Puerto Rico but have called North Texas home for the last 17 years. I am excited to be part of Celina ISD as a Bilingual Resource Teacher. I’ve had the privilege of teaching Bilingual PreK and Dual Language First Grade for the past 17 years in Dallas, McKinney, and Prosper ISD. 

God has truly blessed me with an amazing son, Andre - he is 21, and a wonderful husband, JP. Together, we have a beautiful blended family. We enjoy a fun and very active life on our small farm—home to three micro mini Highland cows (Leo, Cisco, and Max), seven chickens (Sally, Pepper, Ash, Daisy, Lola, Penny, and Rebel), and two dogs (Tucker and Luffy). 

I enjoy gardening, cooking and watching a good movie, but the beach is my happiest place!

I’m so excited to be part of the Lykins Elementary community and to partner with our incredible teachers and families to help every student thrive. 

Go Bobcats!
