It is a great pleasure to introduce myself: My name is Andrea Knauber, originally from Bogota, Colombia. I hold a B.A in Sociology , and a Masters degree in Exceptional student education with reading and ESOL endorsements.

I am also the proud parent of a bilingual fifth grade student, a certified yoga instructor and a small business owner.

During my 14 plus years in education, I had roles working with refugee/asylee students in Hillsborough county as an ELL teacher/curriculum developer and case manager for their families, and most recently at the high school level with the ESE program here in Pasco county.

I am very excited to support the ELL parent community building relationships and growing as a community!

I am bringing my passion for education, mindfulness and community building to the ESOL program and cannot wait to meet YOU.

Please follow us on social media, and contact us if you have questions or concerns regarding your student ESOL services.
