General Information

Hi, I’m Vanessa and this year I’m in Room 8 teaching a great bunch of kids.

I have been part of TAPS for many years now. I have a 9 year old daughter and 7 year old son who attend TAPS and love it.

I love sports in particular trail running, so if I’m not at school or playing with my kids you’ll find me running around a lake somewhere or up a big hill.
