Hi, I’m Karolina

I was born in Des Plaines, Illinois and I earned both my Bachelor's in Elementary Education and my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This year marks my 11th year as a dual language teacher and my 7th year teaching 2nd grade in Evanston, Illinois. I’m passionate about supporting students beyond the classroom and enjoy volunteering to lead extracurricular activities, where I get to see students flourish creatively, socially, and in many other meaningful ways!
