Mrs. Patricia Fresquez

Hello! I'm Patty Fresquez, a Special Education teacher here at Greenbrier. My journey to teaching began with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, but my true calling led me to earn a Master's in Special Education from Grand Canyon University. I believe every student has the potential to learn and thrive, and I'm dedicated to helping them discover their individual learning paths. My husband, Anthony, and I have two wonderful daughters, Gaby and Brianna, and our furry family members, Presto, Mel, and Oli. When I'm not teaching, you can find me hiking, enjoying a boba with my family, or taking our three pets on a walk.
