I was born and raised in Paradise, California. I attended Paradise Adventist Academy from 1st grade-high school. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Walla Walla University in 2017. I worked part time at Milton Stateline Adventist School and Rogers Adventist School the year following graduation. In 2018 I married my husband Austin Mapa and we moved back home to California where I began teaching Kindergarten at Orangevale Adventist School. Teaching younger children is my passion. I have enjoyed the past 5 years working with students in grades K-5. I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, the outdoors, and spending time with my family that lives here in Placerville! I love helping students learn and above all else introducing and nurturing a love for Jesus.

I graduated in May 2022 with my BA in Liberal Arts Education (Elementary Education K-8) from Southern Adventist University. This is my first year as the head teacher for a class of my own. Although, for the past seven years, I have been working in schools from kindergarten all the way to the collegiate level. I have had a love for teaching and caring for students for as long as I can remember. I feel a true purpose when teaching and the growth I see in students is what I live for.

When I was in high school and we were applying to colleges and universities in 11th grade, I freaked out! I had NO IDEA what I wanted to be and what I wanted to pursue (potentially) for the rest of my life. I cried out to God, the one who knows me better than I know myself. Slowly, I began to discover a love of teaching. I saw it in tutoring my friends and helping my younger brother with his schoolwork.

I declared my major as Elementary Education in my junior year of high school and God opened the floodgates of opportunity for me to learn more about education. I began to aid in a 2nd-grade classroom for three and a half years. Adding to my aid work, I assisted an English professor at Southern for three years. I felt comfortable enough in a classroom during my last two years at Southern and even began subbing in the Elementary and Middle schools near Southern.

My story is only just beginning, and I cannot wait to see where God takes me.
