Rachel Sohns, English Language Arts Facilitator
Hello! My name is Rachel Sohns. I am so excited to start my 14th year in education as a Language Arts Facilitator here at CSA! I grew up in Sherman Oaks, California, and moved to beautiful Denver after completing my B.A. in History and Sociology at the University of Colorado at Boulder. I began my teaching career in the Los Angeles Unified School District, but missed Colorado so I returned about 10 years ago. Currently, I live in Aurora with my husband, Ray, and our two dogs, Bowie and Teddy. In my free time, I love to cook, read, go to concerts, and walk my dogs.

Colorado SKIES Academy is such an exciting and new program! I look forward to being a founding facilitator in this endeavor. I love that learners will be challenged to create hands-on projects and use their creativity and knowledge, and I will be able to learn along with them.
What would learners be surprised to know about me?
Learners would be excited to know that I have traveled all around the world on Semester at Sea, and I have experienced over 20 countries!
