Hi! I’m Vanessa Garcia. I teach first grade and I am happy to be apart of the Divine Mercy family. Faith and love is what strengths my classroom. I graduated from Illinois State University with a bachelors in early childhood education. This is my fourth year teaching and first year teaching at Divine Mercy. On a personal note, I recently moved from Chicago and I’m a newlywed. I love spending time with my husband and family. I also like to watch movies and spend time outdoors. I am looking forward to an amazing school year!
