Hello! My name is Kelsea Inguanzo. this will be my second year here at Otto! I am so excited about teaching 7th and 8th grade Reading this year! I began teaching in 2016 as a fourth grade ELAR teacher and stayed within elementary grade levels until the 21-22 school year. I absolutely love middle school. I am a graduate of Texas Woman's University where I received my Bachelors of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in the Spring of 2016. After a year of teaching fourth grade, I went back to TWU to obtain my Masters degree in Reading Education and graduated in 2019. In 2020, I then began my Doctoral degree again at TWU (can you tell I love TWU!). I plan on completing my PhD in the next five years.
I have a deep passion for reading and reading instruction. I consider myself a lifelong learner and hope to instill that same drive in my students. My goal for students is to discover, maintain, and cultivate their literacy lives and cultivate their own personal and academic goals.
I am also a mother to a 16-year-old son named Aiden, he will be a junior in high school this year, and a 4-month-old son named Azael. Some of my hobbies include crafting, painting, learning to crochet, listening to all kinds of music, and, of course, reading. I am originally from Amarillo, Texas. I have two dogs (Missy/Evie) and two cats (Leo/Boots).
