My name is Nakia Swedenburg. I have been a teacher for almost 20 years, teaching grades ranging from Kindergarten to 8th grade. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a Master's degree in Special Education.

 

Using creativity in my teaching style, I love teaching our young students and helping them develop a strong foundation. I love charter schools as they allow and encourage teaching to the whole child. I enjoy parental involvement; I have an open door policy so we can work together to help students grow and develop.

 

Some interesting facts about me are that I have five children and two grandchildren. All my children are grown so I am experiencing empty nest syndrome. I love decorating, being a part of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, and living to travel! Lastly, I have a massage therapy degree which I use to do massages part-time, filling up my free time which was once consumed with a house full of kids!
