Hello, my name is Andrea Ayala and I was born and raised here in Texas. I graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Texas Tech University and my Master’s Degree in Teacher Leadership from Lamar University. I began teaching in 1997 and have taught 3rd, 1st, Kindergarten, and Special Education in the Achieve classroom.  

In 2014, I joined the Saigling Staff and feel extremely blessed to work with the best of the best!  

My goal is to provide a safe learning environment in which all students can grow academically, socially, and mentally! 

When I am not teaching, I love spending time with family and friends especially when it comes to watching both college and professional sports. You can also often find me cheering on my nieces, nephew, and my students as I love attending their extra-curricular activities.
