Sobre Mi - About Me
Teresa McKinney was born in Saigon, Vietnam, as the youngest of 4 children. Her family immigrated to the U.S. when she was only 3 years old. Growing up in Glendale, California, and speaking only Vietnamese, she quickly learned English and soon developed a love of science and Spanish. Studying abroad for a semester in Sevilla, Spain, Mrs. McKinney graduated from UCSD with a B.S. in Biochemistry/Cell Biology and an Area of Focus in Spanish literature. After earning her teaching credential at SDSU, she taught science at Helix High School followed by 9 years of teaching junior high science and Spanish at Our Lady of Grace School in El Cajon.
Mrs. McKinney took a hiatus from teaching but returned to teach Spanish at Good Shepherd and Our Lady of Grace. Mrs. McKinney chose Catholic education because she loves teaching in a faith-filled environment that is based on shared values and morals among teachers, parents, and students alike. |
Mrs. McKinney’s passions include traveling, cooking, and volunteering at church and school. She lives in Mira Mesa with Chris, her loving husband of 17 years, and 4 awesome children, with the younger 3 attending GSCS. She gives thanks to God for her many blessings!
