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 and that's why she started attending Lake Burien Presbyterian. Alejandra's dedication in working with young people stems from the many mentors in her life that motivated and guided her through life and the academic process as a first-generation student. People that believed in her and challenged her- she wants to do the same for others.
During her time off Alejandra enjoys attending concerts, solo traveling, watching live improv shows, weightlifting, long distance running, and spending time with her family and two dogs.
