BIO
Hello my name is Marcela Mejia and I’m proud to be part of the Leadership Academy family. This will be my third year at the school as Lower Elementary Guide, before I was the Spanish teacher of the school. I guide first, second, and third grade students in their learning experience. I love to teach math with hand activities and real applications to my students in our Montessori environment. I have a Bachelor's of Science in Civil Engineering from National University of Colombia, and a Montessori Lower Elementary Teacher Certificate. My husband, Ricardo and I are from Colombia and moved our family to Tyler 13 years ago. We are proud parents of two beautiful children, Andrea and Santiago. When I am not in the school, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, painting, and traveling. I like traveling around the world, learning about all different cultures and customs. I look forward to being a significant person in your child's education.
