I grew up in Atlanta and love getting back there whenever possible to visit my family.  Traveling is one of my favorite things to do when I have time off.  When I don't have time to travel to different places, I enjoy hiking with Albus Dumbledore, my Golden Doodle.  Albus has been certified as a therapy dog, and I try to bring him to school once a week.

I'm one of the resource teachers at Cascadia.  This is my 7th year with the district and my 4th year at Cascadia.  I work hard to build relationships with both students and families, so please don't hesitate to contact me with your questions.

Biography

I am so excited to teach Language Arts and Social Studies at Cascadia. These are two of my favorite subjects!

My name is Annika Sgambelluri and I have been teaching Multilingual Learners in Seattle Public Schools since 2011.  I am a native Washingtonian and attended Western Washington University for my undergraduate degree and the University of Washington for my Masters in Teaching.  Prior to teaching, I worked in non-profit administration at the UW.  I love to travel with my family, including my two kids, and learn about all the amazing cultures in the world. I’ve been to over 25 different countries and four continents. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me planning my next trip, learning Spanish, running around Green Lake, or hiking in our amazing Pacific Northwest mountains.
