My name is Mrs. Franny Joshi, and I will be your ELA teacher this year. This is my first year at RMAE, and I'm so excited to be here!

I grew up in Minnesota and earned my BA in English at St. Olaf College. After graduation, I decided to travel the world! I lived in both London and Sydney and worked as a book editor. I was also able to travel to many wonderful places during these years. Some of my favorites were Italy, Egypt, and Thailand.

After I returned to the United States, I worked as the Children's Department Manager & Buyer at an independent bookstore in the Vail Valley. I loved being surrounded by books every single day and choosing which books to carry in the store! I still enjoy recommending titles to my students. I became a teacher 7 years ago and have taught in both Colorado and Arizona. My husband and I moved to Evergreen a few months ago, and I’m so excited to keep exploring this beautiful town!

I enjoy hiking, playing the piano, reading, singing, performing in musicals, baking, camping, traveling, creative writing, and watching good (or hilariously bad) movies. My husband and I also have a sweet rescue pup named Charlie.

 
I’m looking forward to an amazing year and please reach out with any thoughts, questions, or concerns.
