@donnaintintolo
Dedicated educator and passionate photographer with a love for storytelling.
What I'm looking for
As a passionate educator and photographer, I have dedicated my career to nurturing young minds and capturing life's fleeting moments. With a degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Central Florida, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude, I have honed my skills in creating engaging lesson plans and immersive learning environments. My experience as a Kindergarten Teacher at Keene's Crossing Elementary School has allowed me to lead a team, collaborate with colleagues, and foster a love for learning among my students.
In addition to my teaching career, I have successfully run my own photography business, Donna Marie Photography, where I focus on storytelling through imagery. I take pride in capturing genuine emotions and significant memories for families. My journey in photography complements my teaching philosophy, as both fields require creativity, patience, and a deep understanding of individual needs. I am now eager to fully commit to my passion for photography while continuing to inspire and educate the next generation.
