Mrs. Cifelli (Learning Strategist)
I am excited to start the year here at Tobler! I have been teaching in Las Vegas for 10 years and previously in Arizona for 6. My husband and I moved here with our kids when he joined the fire department. We're about to be empty nesters; our youngest just enlisted into the Army National Guard. In my free time, I love to kickbox and travel with my family, though I guess it'll be just my husband and me soon!
