Hello, my name is Ann Mirabassi and I am a preschool paraeducator. I have been a paraeducator for SVVSD since 2005. I joined Grand View Elementary preschool in 2019. I worked at Erie Middle School, 2011-2019, as a special education paraeducator. I worked at Erie Elementary, 2005-2011, as a kindergarten paraeducator and a special education paraeducator. Prior to working in the education system, I grew up in New Hampshire, earned a degree in Geology, and then moved to Colorado. I worked seven years in the oil and gas industry and then became a stay at home mom. I volunteered at school until my youngest was in first grade and then started working as a paraeducator. All three of my kids attended Erie schools all the way through high school. My children are in their 20's and 30's and my husband and I cherish every moment we get to be with them. I enjoy gardening, cooking, paddle boarding, and skiing.
