Teya began her journey at BGCC in June 2023 after she finished her education at Stephen F. Austin. After working with young children for several years, her family inspired her to pursue a career in early childhood education. She is currently working on learning speaking fluent Spanish and ASL.

She enjoys being able to get to know the students and getting the reward of watching each child grow and learn individually. Working with children is one of her passions and she loves how curious the children are with everything they like to do. She also enjoys reading books to her classes because they are very interested in books. Her favorite book to read with her students is, “Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes.”
