My name is Anina Olivier-Gonzalez and I am the first grade teacher here at Saint Felicitas Catholic School. I am so grateful and humbled to be apart of the Saint Felicitas community, and I thank God for leading me here! I have always aspired to be an educator since I was a little girl.  I come from a two-parent household in which both of my parents have taught for thirty plus years. Needless to say being apart of this line of work, is deeply imbedded in my bloodline.

To have the opportunity to be apart of my student’s lives has been such an amazing experience. I have quite an extensive background working with young people. I maintained a position as a head teacher at a private learning center, lead an after school program at an elementary school in the Oakland hills, as well as interned at a local Catholic high school in Berkeley, CA. I always felt drawn to the lower school grade levels and made it a goal to achieve a position as a second grade teacher. 

Our goal at Saint Felicitas is to educate our students as well as grow and expand their relationships with Christ. In doing so we will uphold common core curriculum to ensure our children are fluent, critical thinkers, work collaboratively with others, and continue to preserver and push through all obstacles. With the help of the parents, family, and friends of the students, anything and everything is possible.

God bless you all and thank you for the continued support. Remember 1 Corinthians 16:14, “Do everything in love.”
