Hi there! I'm Andrea.
I'm an actor turned elementary educator who is passionate about fostering curious, kind, and enthusiastic learners.
I'm all about mistake-making and risk-taking within the safety of connected community.
And I love to sing!
I have my Masters in Teaching in Elementary Multiple Subjects from Pacific University and have been teaching my whole life. From voice lessons to Sunday School to theatre camps, I've been working with children for over fifteen years.
I started as a substitute teacher and special education paraprofessional and then student taught in Fourth Grade at Bonny Slope Elementary and Kindergarten at the Early Learning Community, Pacific University's demonstration school.
I am currently teaching First Grade at Jacob Wismer Elementary in Beaverton and navigating online and hybrid learning!
Welcome to my little internet corner! Please feel free to click around and dive deeper into my story, meet my family, and follow along on my teaching adventures. There's even some video of me teaching.
Please feel free to explore this site full of of learning and teaching. And don't hesitate to reach out. I'd love to hear from you!
