Hi! I'm Christina, and students call me Miss Mandico. I'm excited and honored to be serving as one of the Multilingual Learning teachers at RCA this year. I grew up in Colorado Springs and attended UCCS for college. I've been teaching for 5 years here in the Springs. I enjoy spending time with my family and loved ones, taking walks, being outside, looking after my plant friends and cooking. I'm a SpongeBob and Golden Girls fan. I'm also a yoga teacher. I look forward to getting to know you and the special RCA community!
