Olivia Santoro
The Little Teacher Who Could
My name is Olivia Santoro and I am 25 years old and my love of life shines through in my classroom. I am a graduate of SUNY Cortland, and currently pursuing my masters in Curriculum Development and Technology Instruction.
​
In my time outside the classroom I enjoy exploring new places, hitting every food truck festival I can, and spending as much time as I can with my dog whether its hiking, long runs, or relaxing at the park. If I am not outside or enjoying new foods, you can find me crafting! This include painting, refinishing furniture, and making decorative creations for friends and family.
​
My love for new experiences, activities, and my creative energy can all be found in the positive learning environment I create, turning it into an inviting, nurturing, and welcoming classroom climate for my students. If my friends were asked to describe me using a few words it would be passionate, outgoing, resilient, high-energy, positive and creative. All of which make me into the educator I am today and continuing to grow into.
​
I look forward to getting to know you more, and thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me!
