The School with A Heart!
Hello!
My name is Kristina Rostomily, aka Miss Rosty. I am so excited to continue teaching 1st grade here at Carmel Del Mar. I wanted to take a moment to share a little bit about myself.
I completed my undergrad at San Diego State University in 2014, earning a BA in Psychology. After that, I spent 7 years as an animal trainer at SeaWorld working with both aquatic and land animals. It was truly an incredible experience and has been a joy to bring my love of animals & positive reinforcement into the classroom experience. In conjunction with that, in 2018 I began working part-time as a substitute teacher. Little did I know that this was the spark to creating a new dream, to become an elementary school educator!
In January 2021, I decided to make the full-time transition to the field of education and joined the DMUSD family as a site substitute teacher for Sage Canyon and Sycamore Ridge. During this time I obtained my teaching credential and Masters of Education in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University. After graduation, I spent my first year teaching 2nd grade at Pacific Sky during the 2022-2023 school year. I then joined the Carmel Del Mar team for the 2023-2024 school year as a 1st grade teacher. I look forward to another year at CDM with all of you!
Overall, I feel my diverse experiences have shaped me to be a dedicated, supportive, and inclusive educator. I want you to know that we are a team when it comes to your child's education and well-being. I am looking forward to getting to know you and having a wonderful year together.
Warmly,
Miss Rosty

I love to be active and enjoy our beautiful city! Outside of CDM you can find me at the beach, playing golf or pickleball, practicing yoga, and spending time with family and friends. I have a 2 year old Golden Retriever named Fin. He has brought so much love and happiness to my life! He loves playing frisbee, chewing his toys, playing with his cousin Harley (my sister's 8 year old Pitbull lab mix), and jumping in the waves at the beach.
