My name is Kendra Swatzell. I am entering my third year here at Wheeler. I have taught Kindergarten, Second grade, and now taking on Third grade. I was born in New Mexico, but have been in Tucson since I was an infant. I attended TUSD school's K-12 and then began my journey to become an educator at Pima Community College. From Pima I attended Northern Arizona University where I received my dual Bachelors degree in Elementary/Special Education. I am now attending Grand Canyon University on my way to obtain my maters as an Elementary Reading Interventionist. Aside from my educational journey I have a four year old son. On my "spare" time I find myself volunteering as the team mom. I enjoy being outdoors and going on adventures with my son. Teaching is a passion of mine! I enjoy learning new things and helping mold children into life long learners.
