First Grade Teacher
Mrs. Clingensmith relocated to Reno in 2019. She spent the last 8 years teaching Kindergarten in Lassen County at Richmond Elementary. Prior to that she lived in San Diego where she completed her B.A. in English and M. A. in Cross-Cultural education from National University. Her first teaching experience was in Japan, at Yokohama International Christian Academy where she taught Kindergarten and K-12 swimming and PE for 4 years.
Mrs. Clingensmith’s passion for teaching stems from the desire to provide the foundational tools for each child as they develop their own unique passion and curiosity to learn. She looks forward to exploring her new hometown. Don’t be surprised if you run into her on the soccer field, basketball court, in a swimming pool or on the mountain snowboarding with her family.
