Sophia Montoya-Andrews- Pre-Primary Assistant

A Santa Fe local and La Mariposa Montessori Alumni, I began my journey as a Monessori student in Kindergarten. After graduating from the University of New Mexico with a B.A. in Pre-Medical biology and psychology, I began teaching Spanish at La Mariposa in 2024. A Violinist since the age of three I played classical and Mariachi music for many years.

Becoming a teacher at La Mariposa has allowed me to integrate my Montssori background, with my love of learning, caring for others and music. Composing educational songs and unearthing classics has been something I’ve enjoyed integrating into my student’s learning experiences. Currently, I am the assistant teacher in the South class, where I aim to provide comfort, safety and guidance to our youngest students.
