Through the eyes of a teacher amidst a pandemic

Kriana Le Velle, a 24-year-old graduate student pursuing her Master’s in Counseling at the University of Guam, has been keeping busy and serving our community in more ways than one during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Le Velle is currently on her last semester at the University of Guam doing two internships and working as a full-time teacher at Tiyan High School.

With this school year being only her 3rd year teaching, there have been some pros and cons having to transition from traditional face-to-face to online learning.

“It was rough at first, but now with a month into teaching online and having a set schedule for preparing packets and lessons, I’ve created a routine to help me stay on track and also give myself some free time to spend with family and my dog, Hånao,” said Le Velle.   

Le Velle mentioned that one of the cons of teaching online is not being able to connect and see her students regularly.

With her background in Social Work and Counseling, some of her interests include helping others, providing unconditional support to her loved ones and self-care.
