I am Ms. Rachael Anderson and I graduated from Grand Valley State University with a Bachelors Degree in Spanish and Elementary Education. Upon graduating I worked as a translator for an elementary school, working with children with special needs and their parents. I participated in theater arts, band, and softball in college. I envision this year to be spectacular, fun, adventurous, and a great learning experience for myself and my students. I lived in Costa Rica two years ago to take college classes and better my language skills and am thrilled to be given the opportunity to be back.

My name is Ms. Ana Rudolphi. I am excited to begin my second year as the high school English teacher at Falcon International School. Teaching has been a lifelong passion of mine and I have had the opportunity to work with students of all ages and abilities. I have worked as a long-term sub and full-time elementary teacher in the Minneapolis Minnesota region and have taught pre-K age students for the past several years. Relaxing yoga, long bike rides, short books and great music are all passions of mine; and my goal is to help my students discover theirs as well

I went to college in San Diego, London and concluded my studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder with Major in Psychology and a Minor in Philosophy. After some years in the corporate world I decided to become a teacher. I received my certification from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. For the last seven years, I have been teaching children of all ages in the public school system in Colorado.

My name is Jeffrey Winkleman and I am looking forward to joining the Falcon staff for the upcoming school year. I did my undergraduate studies in the California State University system at CSU Stanislaus and Chico State. I graduated in 1992 from CSU Stanislaus with a BA in Economics. After a short stint working in the private sector, I was persuaded by friends to try substitute teaching. I instantly fell in love with teaching and decided to pursue a career in teaching. I attended Chapman University for two years and earned a California Multiple Subjects Credential. I later earned my TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) certificate from the University of San Diego.
Upon completion of my credential I worked for the Atwater School District in California for eleven years, from 1996-2007. During my tenure at Atwater I worked with students of all different grades and ages. I spent many of my years teaching at the primary level having taught first, second, second-third combination classes and third grade only. I, also, worked with older students as a teacher in our school’s GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) program. I am excited about the upcoming school year. I look forward to teaching in the private sector, teaching the social sciences, and teaching in Costa Rica
