Karla Cruz
Teacher
Hi there!
My name is Karla Cruz and I have been at Skyview since 2013. I started as a teachers aide in multiple classrooms K-8 which has given me the opportunity to experience working with students of all ages.
Growing up I knew I always wanted to be a teacher. Coming from a family of immigrants, I knew that this was a dream that was not going to be easy. My family and I moved to US in 2001. I spent 6 years in the English Language Learners program. With the support of my family, I was able to test out of the program and take normal classes in high school.
In 2017 I graduated with my bachelors degree in elementary education. I then became the 5th and 6th grade teacher for 2 years. After my second year of teaching, I decided to take a step back and venture the world. I moved to the Big Island of Hawaii for a year and disconnected from reality until the pandemic hit. As I saw educators all over the country struggle during this time, I knew it was time to get back in the classroom. I have always been passionate about teaching, but knowing that I could continue impact lives during difficult times motivated me even more.
