Meet Corinne

 

When you were five, what did you dream of becoming?

An Actress!

What’s one thing on your bucket list?

To visit all the National Parks

What inspired you to work in education?

I come from a line of educators - my Mom and both of her parents were both educators so it was something I always considered doing, but wasn't until later in life that I made the decision to pursue teaching.

What was your favorite book or story as a child?

I really loved the story Corduroy as a child! I always wanted to be the girl that rescues him in the story!

How do you love to spend your weekends?

Whether on an adventure or in our camper, or simply at home, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two children, Emilia & Luca. Curling up with a hot cup of coffee & a good book also are at the top of that list!

What’s your favorite thing about being part of the CALE community?

There are so many things I love, it's difficult to pick just 1! The incredible teachers - they motivate me to continue to grow as an educator, the kids, the families and how they are so supportive, the individualized learning we work hard to provide to each child, there are really so many things that make this school special and unique & I'm so blessed to be a small part of it!

Share a fun fact or hidden talent that might surprise us!

I can speak Italian! I was born there & still have a lot of family there to this day!
