Vanessa Phillips

Global Teacher

Hi! My name is Vanessa Phillips. I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, where I still live today. My husband and I have two wonderful kids, Mia and Ricky, who are both in college, along with two lovable dogs, Peanut Butter, and Bri. I graduated from Florida International University in 2005 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications. I’ve been an educator since 2009, and I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with my students and helping them grow into lifelong learners. 

Outside of teaching, I love spending time with my family, being outdoors, traveling, exercising, and watching sports. My family is especially big on American football! I also enjoy exploring new restaurants, learning new things, and keeping my brain sharp with word puzzles.
