Ally Giesting (6/7) 

I am a mom of three (my eldest is going into middle school, so I’m living the middle school life all of the time!) who loves reading, hiking, and trying out cool new restaurants. Teaching is one of my greatest loves - I’ve been teaching for 17 years and I still learn new things every day. I absolutely love the privilege of getting to be part of the process of watching young people discover who they are and the great things they can achieve.

I’ve been at Anchorage since 2013. One year was spent serving as an Instructional Assistant before transitioning into a full-time teaching position.
