Miss Ivonne was born and raised in Mexico City. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from La Escuela Superior de Comercio y Administración in Mexico City and holds a Master of Business Administration from Kent State University. A proud Medina resident for over 22 years, Ms. Ivonne loves her community and is thrilled to be part of The Goddard School family — a place that also shaped her own children, who attended this school. Her own positive experiences as a parent inspire her commitment to providing every child with a safe, nurturing, and engaging first school experience. In her free time, Ms. Ivonne enjoys growing vegetables and flowers in her garden and hosting events at her home for friends and family. One of her favorite books is “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” because it teaches children about possibilities, choices, consequences, and rewards in a fun, rhythmic, and inspiring way.
