Hello! My name is Ms. Taylor Vicinus and I am a 5th grade teacher at JG, teaching all subject areas. I have been teaching at Jeffreys Grove since 2015, and love being an Eagle! I am originally from Fairfax County in VA, but have lived in NC since 2008. I taught for 3 years in Greenville, NC before moving to Wake County! I enjoy watching sports, crafting, reading, and learning!

 I grew up on Long Island. I went to Indiana University (Go Hoosiers!). I love my dogs and I'm proud to be vegan for the animals. I have been at Jeffreys Grove since 2002. If you don't see me here, then I'm on my bike!

Hello! My name is Norma Gómez. I was born and raised in Colombia. I am a passionate teacher with more than 13 years of experience, and I am thrilled to be joining Jeffreys Grove Elementary this year as a fifth-grade Spanish immersion teacher. After graduating from high school, I pursued my passion for languages at La Salle University, majoring in Modern Languages with a focus on teaching English, Spanish, and French. I also hold a specialization in Bilingual Education and School Neuropsychology.

Beyond the classroom, I enjoy traveling and learning about new cultures. These experiences enrich my teaching and help me bring a global perspective to my lessons. I also love spending time with my family, taking my dog for walks, reading, listening to music, and going to the movies.

My name is Shirley Astudillo, and I am from Cali, Colombia. I have taught third, fourth and fifth grade in my country and I will be teaching 5th grade here.

In my free time I like traveling, skating, reading, and watching movies. I also enjoy drawing, painting, and dancing.
