Cecile Kiesel (Teaching Assistant) grew up in Chino, California, the youngest of three children, where she attended Don Antonio Lugo High School. Her professional experience has included working as a flight attendant for Morris Air, as a legal secretary at law firms in California and Salt Lake City, and as a photographer, photographing virtual tours of real estate for Obeo.com. Throughout her past employments, Cecile’s favorite aspect has consistently been the human interaction. More specifically, she discovered her affinity for working with children while volunteering at her children’s schools. She very much enjoyed being a teaching assistant in the second grade during ELA’s inaugural year and is thrilled to be returning for the 2010-2011 school year. The friendships she builds with each of the children are what make every school day a joy for her to attend.

Cecile has been married 15 years and has two children, a 10 year-old daughter who attends ELA and a 14 year-old son. She has lived in Utah for 19 years. Currently, she resides in the Glenmoor Village area of South Jordan, where she enjoys the peaceful golf course atmosphere. She likes outdoor activities with her family such as camping, fishing, ATV riding, ice skating, swimming, and bicycle riding. Indoors, she enjoys reading, cooking, games, and just being with her family.
