My name is Miss Evans. I am entering my 10th year of teaching. This will be my second year at Manoa Elementary. I also serve the DOE as an Aloha Ambassador for the Honolulu District. I've lectured at UH West Oahu on Education Technology. In 2023-2024 I became a Scholastic Innovator. In 2022-2023, I was selected as one of 12 teachers in the nation to serve as a Scholastic Teacher Fellow. In 2019-2020, I was a finalist in Location's Top Teacher Award as well as a nominee for the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. Prior to Manoa, I taught 3rd grade at Haha'ione for five years, and 2nd grade at Moanalua Elementary School for four years.
I grew up all over Oahu, attending public schools. I have many fond memories of market day, designing robot cars, and performing in school plays, to name a few. I graduated from UH Manoa with a Bachelor's in Elementary and Early Childhood Education. I also earned my Master's in Early Childhood Education from Northcentral University. I currently hold an advanced teaching license.
When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy reading. Some of my favorite books are A Midsummer Night's Dream, Go Dog Go, and the Harry Potter Series. I am an amateur photographer. Taking pictures of scenery is a fun hobby of mine. I also enjoy going to the gym. If you see me there, stop and say hi!
Please do not hesitate to reach out through our classroom apps, or my email address.
