Victoria Galvez

I’m so excited to join the Sanchez Community this year. 

I have 5 years of experience teaching first grade, and I’m excited to begin a new chapter in Special Education as a Bilingual Special Education Resource Teacher. Although this is my first year in SPED, I’m looking forward to bringing my classroom experience, love for students, and passion for supporting every child’s individual needs into this new role.

I graduated from Texas State University in San Marcos. I was born and raised in Austin, but I also spent part of my early childhood in Mexico City with my family and many summers there growing up.

I’m looking forward to a wonderful school year filled with growth, learning, and lots of new memories.
