My name is Oliva Gonzalez and I am excited to be joining the St Charles family next year as a 4th grade teacher.
I’m a Puyallup native where I attended All Saints Catholic school with my three younger sisters. I grew up in a devout Catholic family and we were very involved with the All Saints community and parish life. I feel very blessed to be able to begin my teaching career in a Catholic school where I can not only share my love for learning with my students but also my love for my Catholic faith.
I attended The University of Washington for my undergraduate and received my BA in politics and philosophy with a minor in math. Following graduation, I had the opportunity to work in the Bethel School District which is where I fell in love with teaching. I went on to enroll in the Masters in Teaching program at Gonzaga University where I just graduated this past May.
In my free time I enjoy sitting down with a good book, playing the flute, spending time with my friends and family, and most recently, learning to cook.
