I am Ms. Alejandra Cruz Milano was born in Caracas, Venezuela. I loved to travel and would often accompany my grandma during the summer to visit my uncle in Louisiana, USA. This was the key point that made my love for travelling and adventure blossom. Following my dad’s advice, that inspiring and great teachers were needed in the world, I got into Universidad Catolica Andres Bello in Caracas and earned a Bachelor degree in Elementary and Early Years Education. In 2004, I embarked on my first overseas teaching post as a Spanish teacher in New Jersey, USA. I returned to my home country and worked at The American International School of Caracas, Escuela Campo Alegre as an Early Childhood Teacher. My international teaching career started as a Kindergarten-Grade 1 teacher in Dalian, China, where I met Graham, my spouse. I also taught in India, South Korea, and Dongguan, China. After so much travelling am very happy to be rooted in Canada with Graham, and out sweet dog Violet. We spent 2 years in Chetwynd and made lots of good friends, got involved with the community.  I fell in love with this beautiful Northern countryside Canadian town. Even though I miss my Venezuelan family and hasn't seen them in a few years, I am always in touch with them. After 3 years of taking a teaching break I am ready,  excited, and full of ideas to re-enter the ECE teaching world and help young  children in their education and holistic development. In my free time I enjoy hiking, camping, doing yoga and pilates, reading, cross stitching and all sorts of arts and crafts and exploring my town whether it is Dawson Creek or Chetwynd.
