Hi everyone! My name is Andrea Johnson, and this will be my second year in 2nd Grade at BPE. I began my teaching career in Pre-K, where I fell in love with the process of learning and whole-child development! In the classroom, I prioritize making meaningful relationships with my students and using that as a foundation to build learning experiences off of. 

I am originally from Southern California, though I spent most of my childhood years growing up in Ethiopia. I have been in Austin for three years and enjoy spending as much time as possible outside; swimming, hiking, exploring, and more. I love painting, scrapbooking, and almost any other creative outlet too. I look forward to a year full of learning, growing, and fun!!
