Hello! My name is Karyssa Porter this will be my second year here at Skyview as an aide in 4/5 and I am so happy to be a part of the amazing team we have here! A bit about my background is that I completed my associates in elementary education through the Maricopa community colleges and I have several years of experience working with children and families with many diverse needs from all walks of life. When my family first moved to Prescott in 2023 I became aware of how Skyview uses the multiple intelligences theory to help develop a project based curriculum and I just knew it would be the perfect place for my own 3 children. I truly believe every individual is unique and this model allows kids to learn in ways that align with their strengths, helps boost their confidence, and will hopefully foster a lifelong love of learning. It is really an honor to be able to be a part of that. In my free time you might find me getting lost in a good book, working on an exciting "do it yourself" project or with my family, friends or pets exploring the many beautiful spots our state has to offer. I look forward to another year of being able to support this amazing community of learners, families and educators that we have here at Skyview.

Hello! My name is Marisa, and I’m excited to be the 4/5 aide this year at Skyview. It’s such a privilege to work at such a fantastic school. I’ve spent the past seven years working with kids of all ages, and I’m looking forward to expanding my experience here. While I am a native to AZ, I recently moved to Prescott from Phoenix, and I’m excited to enjoy the beautiful weather and nature this area has to offer!
