Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, my name is Sirena. I am a crafty momma who loves to share my passion of creating and learning. I earned my Nutrition and Fitness BS graduate degree from the University of Missouri in 2005. I started teaching on Outschool as a means to connect and help share my passions with other people who were interested in the same things as I. I would love all of my students to leave my class with more inspiration to learn more about whatever they are passionate about and never be afraid to show others your true self.
Growing up, history was not my favorite topic. It seemed filled with dates, battles, and was beige and boring. It wasn't until I became an adult, and learned the personal stories of historic people, that I starting taking an interest in history and famous historical women.
I am a work at home mom of two special kiddos, age 10 and 6. My daughter, Catalina, is a bright 5th grader that loves to read. Blake, my son, is a fun loving 1st grader, who is on the Autism spectrum. To round out my family, I also live with my husband, Justin, who shares my love of history. We also are a house full of pets. We have two parakeets, a dog, turtle, and many fish! When I am not teaching craft, art, baking, and history classes for Outschool, I am managing my enamel pin Etsy shop.
When I am not teaching I love spending time with my family doing things together like baking, cooking, gardening, and watching movies together. I am an avid reader and a lover of history. I was born with the need to create and love that I can share my creations and passions with others.
I am very excited to begin offering classes with Outschool and I hope to meet you and your child soon!
If there is a class that you would like to see offered that I currently do not offer, please reach out to me! Thank you kindly! 😀
Sincerely,
Sirena
