Seattle Public Schools

(She/Her/Hers) I have been teaching in Seattle Public schools for over 20 years as a classroom teacher, and reading and math interventionist. I am new to Madrona in 2022 and I am excited about working with this energetic and welcoming Panther community!

(She/Her) I have been teaching since 2016. I am a Seattle University grad, originally from Wisconsin. I live in the Central District with my partner and 2 kids. You might see me in the wild, jogging the stairs at the east end of Marion street down to the beach.

I have worked here at Interagency for over 20 years.  First as an hourly employee, then a paraprofessional, a special education case-manager, and now in my current positions(s).  I believe education begins with meaningful relationships, mutual respect & meeting students where they are in their life's journey.

Hello! I am Micaela and I am the math teacher and art coordinator at YEP - Interagency. As well my teaching role, I also serve as the math department head for Interagency as a whole. I strive to advocate for my students, provide opportunities for their mathematical identities to flourish, create connection and provide access and learning to engage and empower my students with the math skills and tools needed to support their goals.

I've been teaching here since 2014. Before moving to Seattle, I had the privilege to work and study across the country and the world! Some highlights include working at the Naval Academy Prep school in Rhode Island and tutoring in Seoul, South Korea. I went to college in Atlanta, Georgia (Georgia Tech), and Bozeman, Montana (Montana State) and did my master's program through Southern New Hampshire University.

I am a math teacher who has been working with Interagency Academy since early 2000. I hold a BA in English from the University of Georgia, a Masters in Teaching from Seattle Pacific University, and am a National Board Certificated teacher in AYA Math, endorsed in English, Mathematics and Physical Education. Along with teaching I love playing outdoors in the PNW with my wife and kids.
