Delanie Cynewski is a Vermont native who relocated to San Diego in 2023. She earned her undergraduate degree in International Relations and Mandarin Chinese from Roger Williams University and completed her master’s degree in Elementary Education at Saint Michael’s College. Now in her second year at JCS Mountain Oaks, she taught 7th-grade humanities last year and is excited to return to working with transitional kindergarten students. In Vermont, she spent three years at a nature-based preschool, an experience she is eager to integrate into JCS Mountain Oaks’ mission of fostering lifelong learners. Outside the classroom, she enjoys exploring San Diego’s natural environment, practicing Pilates, spending time at the beach, and visiting farmers’ markets.
