I have had the privilege of working with Ranata for two years. She is someone who students, parents, colleagues, and administrators count on for experience and advice. Ranata is a student-centered teacher that has a great rapport with kids, and because of that, they love her!

Ranata knows how to build genuine rapport with each student using humor, sincerity, empathy, and the power of positive reinforcement. She is an eccentric, unconventional, creative, charismatic, daring, ethical, and caring educator.

Ranata is one of the most exceptional educators I have had the privilege of working with in my eleven-year international teaching career. Her priority is always the well-being of her students, and the adage the ‘kids come first’ is evident in everything Ranata does, how she teaches and how she works with parents, her faculty, and most importantly her children. Ranata’s students rise to the high expectations she always has for them with confidence and with her full support.

Ranata’s experience and commitment to making a difference in the school community were evident in her dedication to the role of a Grade Level Leader, CAS coordinator, and her constant involvement in all school activities. Ranata is an invaluable faculty member who is respected and appreciated by all who have the privilege to work with her. I wish her all the very best in her future endeavors.
