Alejandra Silva-Avendano
Alejandra was born and raised in Seattle and graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a degree in History and Secondary Education. After graduating, she returned to her community to serve as an educator with the goal of mentoring and empowering young people. Her teaching pursuits began as a student-teacher at Renton High School and later for the Highline School District where she was named Rookie Teacher of the Year in 2022.
Alejandra is committed to building and being around authentic community, which is why she was initially drawn to Lake Burien Presbyterian. Her dedication to young people stems from the many mentors who guided her through life and academics as a first-generation student. These mentors believed in and challenged her, and now she wants to do the same for others.
During her time off, Alejandra enjoys concerts, solo traveling, live improv shows, weightlifting, long distance running, and spending time with her family and two dogs.
