Xaviera Lee

School-Aged Child Care Program Specialist

Hello, afterschool professionals! My name is Xaviera (pronounced suh-vair-uh). I have lived in Anchorage for most of my life and come from a large Hmong family. Working with youth has always been on my mind, but it wasn’t until I took an Early Childhood Education course partway through my biology degree that I discovered the absolute joy of working with children. I found myself with a strong desire to support children’s growth and learning, and soon immersed myself into the education world to learn as much as I could, spending a few years teaching at a day care and working as a kindergarten paraprofessional. After I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from the University of Alaska Southeast, I taught at the primary grade levels in the Anchorage School District for three years, and then spent a short time educating families and girls about Girl Scouts.
