Mrs. Rachael Ibarra
Hi there, I'm Rachael (Joaquin's mom) and I'm excited to be teaching Creative Writing to our special group of kiddos! I've been a birth doula and childbirth educator for the last 10 years and have had the privilege of teaching hundreds of birth classes and learning sessions for expecting and new parents. Creative Writing is something I've always loved as it combines the imaginative with the practical, which is a very cozy place for my mind to be. I found my passion for writing at a young age and was fortunate enough to have a handful of teachers to encourage me along the way. I hope to be that encouraging presence for my students as well as they explore the endless possibilities of their imagination and creativity!
Mrs. Kim Larsen
Hi friends! My name is Kim, and I am so excited to be joining Wild Wonders Co-op as a teacher! I am a mom of 2, and the wife of a Fort Worth Firefighter. I will be teaching our new cooking classes, Big Chefs and Little Chefs, as well as our Babysitters certification course. I absolutely LOVE cooking and baking and can't wait to teach lots of valuable real-life skills in my cooking classes! As a former ER nurse, I'm looking forward to teaching aspiring babysitters all of the skills needed to be a confident and safe babysitter! I can't wait to meet you all!
Mrs. Marina Prince
Dear parents and guardians!
My name is Marina, and I’ll be teaching Early History (pre-history- 8th century) this upcoming semester. I am so excited to get to know you and your crew. A little about me: I received my Visual Communication degree from the University of Texas at Arlington, where I took courses focused on architecture, graphic design and illustration. I have been homeschooling my children for 3 years now and I am enjoying it very much. I love everything that has to do with history and ancient architecture. History, like a hidden treasure chest, beckons us with its tales of triumphs, tragedies, and timeless truths. As a history enthusiast, my heart dances to the rhythm of the past. Let’s embark on this captivating expedition into the dawn of human history together!
