I'm from Ottawa! I'm currently working as a high school teacher. My mom grew up on a farm so I've always had a love for animals and the outdoors! I'm usually reading, hiking or gardening.

Description

Hi! My name is Priscilla and I'm a Science/Math Teacher during the year. Biology is the topic that I'm most truly passionate about. I enjoy tending to my garden, foraging mushrooms and plants, and sharing my excitement with my students. If you were to find me I'd always be reading a book about ecology and botany. I also love to visit new places and experience different cultures. I've been lucky to have visited 17 different countries, and just missing three more Canadian provinces! The two things that bring me the most happiness is being outside in nature and teaching.

More details about my language interests
Grew up in a Latin American household so I spoke Spanish at home and have done Spanish lessons. I would like to improve my French to a more native-speaking level.
