Christy GRENSTEINER
West Fargo,ND
Summary
I have been teaching for well over 20 years and still have the passion for working with students. I taught in a Salt Lake City for three years and Wilmington, DE for three years before I came back to ND, my home state. I feel that I've been able to grow and learn a lot with my experiences in different parts of the United States. I've served on various professional committees over the years and have held leadership roles when I taught at Horace Elementary and Legacy Elementary. I plan on continuing my education in Educational Leadership with the hope of holding an assistant principal job in the future.
