Merielle was born in California and grew up moving across several states in the U.S., which sparked her curiosity and love for travel. She discovered her passion for working with children through part-time nanny work and seven years in a daycare in Oakland. Her interest in teaching deepened while teaching English abroad in France to elementary school students.

Merielle earned degrees in Linguistics, French, and Education from UC Berkeley and has since transitioned her career toward preschool teaching. She loves learning something new every day—whether it’s discovering creative ways to teach lessons alongside her colleagues or exploring new ideas and facts.

Merielle is dedicated to creating a fun, nurturing, and welcoming environment where children can thrive, learn, and build social connections with their peers and educators.
