Hello there! I’m Vanissa Seriña-Carbon — 2nd Grade Teacher by day, artsy gift-giver by heart! I’m part of the amazing team at Joseph and Olinga Gregory Elementary School, where I’ve been happily shaping young minds for the past 18 years (yes, that’s a LOT of crayons and giggles!). I earned my degree in Elementary Education, major in Science and Health from Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan in the Philippines, graduating Cum Laude and as the Outstanding Graduate of our College of Education! When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me with a paintbrush in hand — I love arts and crafts and painting, especially turning them into heartfelt gifts. If I don’t have something to give, I’ll create it with love and color! Fun Fact: I was born on a Good Friday (Biyernes Santo) — that’s actually where my name Vanissa came from. Talk about a meaningful birthday!
