Assistant Teacher
​Victoria Figueroa
Hi! My name is Victoria, I'm 28 years old, a Tx native, and a USMC veteran.
Since moving to NC 2 years ago, after my time in service, I've often found myself living a slower-paced life at the beach with my husband and our three kids when the time allows!
When I’m not chasing my kids in the sand, you’ll usually find me chasing them on the fields for their sporting activities, or on the mats training jiujitsu alongside them.
I thoroughly enjoy being present and active in my children’s daily activities & although this is my first year in a classroom setting, I'm very eager to learn, expand my skills, and have your littles to be present and active with just like my own family!
