Gabriella
Mazzei
 My
name is Gabriella Mazzei but close
family and friends have always
known me as “Bria”. My passion
has always been working with
children. I grew up locally
attending Holy Cross Catholic
School and then commuted to
Archbishop Mitty Catholic High
School in San Jose. I feel that my
Catholic school background has
been the support system for the
pride I have in my values. I have
attended Holy Cross, San Agustin,
and St. Joseph’s throughout my
life. My parents have been heavily
involved in the Retrouvaille
community, helping people work
towards healing their marriages. I
am recently engaged to a wonderful
man, Artie Nathan, who is a
Program Manager for Apple and who
also has years of experience
working with children through the
YMCA. I would not be who I am
today without the support of my
family, friends and community.
I
began teaching second grade at
Good Shepherd Catholic School in
the fall of 2009. I studied Child
Development at Sacramento State
University and continued my
education through Bethany
University. Throughout my student
teaching I worked within special
education programs as well as in
English Language Development
classrooms. I enjoy any
opportunity to implement
cross-curricular learning. If I
can make learning fun for my
students, then I have encouraged
life-long learners to be curious
about life and what it holds.
The
Good Shepherd staff and
administration support has been
welcoming and encouraging. I could
not have asked for a better
community.
