Seattle Public Schools

Hi, I'm Veronika!

I graduated from UW with my Masters in teaching in 2015. I believe that I have the BEST job in the world and that ALL kids are GOOD kids. Our classroom is our community.... we all deserve a place where we can feel safe, learn, belong and experience JOY everyday! When I am not at school you might find me walking my dog Wendell, hanging out by the water, skiing down a mountain or listening to live music with friends!

Education: MIT University of Washington / BA Vanguard University

I was born and raised in Seattle, headed to college in CA, and lived in Brazil in 2012 before coming back to my favorite city. I love most sports (Go Sounders!) and am impatiently waiting for when Seattle gets an NBA team back. You might find me outside of school running, going to concerts, or tending to my 10+ cactus!

Hello! I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii before attending Occidental College. After receiving my BA in Physics, I obtained a MA in Teaching Secondary Mathematics. I was a high school math teacher in Los Angeles and a middle school environmental sustainability teacher before moving to Seattle to pursue a PhD in Math Education. As I completed my doctoral studies, I worked in various roles in teacher education at the University of Washington. Now I’m back in the classroom excited to support future educators!

Work Hard; Play Hard; Love Fully; Laugh Often; Smile Always.

Teaching is a joy! I am excited and thrilled to be working at Lawton Elementary School. Everyday is an opportunity to grow, learn, and love.
