My name is Valentina, but you can call me “Seño Valen”. I'm from Argentina and I am so excited to be a Kindergarten Teacher at ISLA this year! I graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education in 2021. I worked as a Preschool teacher in Argentina for 3 years, then came to Minnesota to be an au pair for 2 years, taking care of 4 beautiful children that I love like they were my own. After my program concluded, I went back to Argentina, but when I found the opportunity to come back to the US as an international teacher, I knew this is what I wanted to do. For my first year, I was a kindergarten teacher in a charter school in the Orlando, FL area, but I knew in my heart that I wanted to come back to Minnesota. After finishing my first year, I asked for a transfer and I found the amazing opportunity to work in such a unique school and environment: ISLA, and I couldn’t be happier that they wanted me to work here too! I love catching pretty sunsets, a good iced vanilla latte, smelling a fresh bouquet of flowers, camping and being outdoors, spending time with friends, the color pink, watching a Disney movie and making people smile :) Please, contact me anytime if you have any questions, concerns or if you simply have anything you want to share with me. We are in this together, and we’re going to have an amazing year!
