Sarra Guggemos
@sarraguggemos
Elementary educator and coach who blends classroom excellence with mentorship and faith-driven leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m an elementary educator with experience planning engaging lessons, supporting diverse classrooms, and strengthening both academic and social-emotional growth. As a Second Grade teacher, I align instruction with state standards, manage classroom behavior, and foster inclusivity.
Alongside teaching, I serve as an FCA Area Representative, equipping athletes, coaches, and volunteers through mentorship, discipleship, and resource development. I build relationships with donors, churches, and community partners, and I plan outreach events and camps to increase engagement.
I also coach USSS-level ski racers, providing technical instruction and mentoring athletes while contributing to the club’s day-to-day operations. I continually expand my coaching expertise by learning from experienced mentors.
My background includes substitute teaching across Kindergarten–Twelfth Grade, childcare for multiple young children, and customer-facing and operations support roles. I bring structure, care, and accountability to every environment—whether in classrooms, teams, or community programs.
