Meet the Team

Genna is the Outdoor Classroom Teacher at St. Margaret’s Episcopal School in Orange County, CA. Most schools would simply call this role “Recess Aide” but at St. Margaret’s, we acknowledge the playground as a play-based learning environment and prioritize having an SEL focused teacher as the cornerstone of this area.

If Genna were a Venn diagram, she would coexist at the center of these three passions: child development, yoga, and therapy. Prior to this role, she was a full-time children’s and adult yoga instructor, and in the future, she hopes to become a children’s therapist. She believes her background in yoga is firmly rooted in SEL practices, which is what draws her to IFSEL, and plays a big role in her daily work with kids on the playground.
