¡Hola! ¡Bienvenidos!
Time surely flies; I’m so excited for year 3 at First Baptist!
This year I will be teaching Spanish – school wide – and will be your new librarian. I will also have the pleasure of teaching life skills again!
Summer time was relaxing and fun! Mr. Gambino and I spent a lot of time renovating our home, traveling, and spoiling Luna, our husky. We finally celebrated our honeymoon and one year anniversary in beautiful St. Lucia!
About Me:
I was born in Honduras, but grew up in Louisiana since I was a month old! I live in Slidell with my husky – Luna – and my husband Blake. I graduated from Salmen High School in 2013. I went on to graduate from LSU in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. After graduating, I taught English as a second language (ESL) for 2 years. God has always led me to ministry with children and I have a genuine gift and heart for them. I have done everything from babysitting, nannying, teaching Sunday school, volunteering at local public schools, and more. Three years ago, God led me to FBCS and it’s been my home ever since. The love I have for our school, students, and staff is unconditional. I cannot wait to grow alongside our students this year, new and old. Despite the worldly circumstances lately, God has shined through with blessings and love. This school year will be amazing!
