¡Hola!
My
name is Vanessa Watne and I am originally from Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania. I earned a BA in Spanish Secondary Education at Grove
City College. My love for Spanish and learning about other cultures
led me to seek out as many opportunities as possible to visit other
countries. Following college I lived in Mexico City for over 2 and a
half years doing not-for-profit work. Through this experience I was
able to more fully develop my Spanish. I’ve kept up with it over
the years through friendships and visits to Spanish-speaking
countries like Mexico, Chile, Peru, and Costa Rica.
I
have always loved learning and education and following my time in
Mexico, I completed a Master’s in Counseling at Covenant
Theological Seminary in St. Louis, MO. After this, I entered back
into education as a high school Spanish teacher in Missouri for 2
years, and then 1 year here in town at Corona Del Sol High School,
after I married my husband, Jamie.
I
am very excited to teach your children with the immersion-style
program after 13 years staying at home raising our 4 children: Ana,
Bjorn, Daniel and Caleb, who are all now attending Chandler Prep and
Archway Chandler.
Some
of my personal interests are gardening, traveling, cooking
traditional foods, nutrition, reading good books, learning new
things, going on hikes, camping with my family and being outside as
much as possible, especially in the Southwest winter months!
