Hello! My name is Paola Fernandez de Araujo. I'm very excited to be part of Mitchell Elementary as one of the  bilingual 4th Grade teachers this year.

I'm from the beautiful city of La Paz, Bolivia. I have a Master's Degree in Law.

I studied law in Catholic University of San Pablo, and I got my Master's degree in Civil-Commercial Law, at Los Andes University.

As an attorney, I always turned my career to education and I have the opportunity to teach in different colleges.

I also have been teaching in an after-school education program academy for the last 2 years and teaching at my church for so many years. 

I’ve been married for 12 years to my husband Guery and we have three beautiful kids, Estefania, 9 years old, Catalina and Emiliano, who are twins and they are 4 years old.We also have a beautiful dog named Copito.

My goal is to make a positive difference in my student’s lives by inspiring them to love learning and reading.

In my free time, I love spending time with my family, reading, watching movies, cooking, baking and enjoying outdoor activities.
