About Me
Greetings! My name is Devin Smith and I am extremely excited to be a part of the Ballico family! I grew up in Snelling, Ca., where I played lots of sports and so had cause to visit Ballico often as a competitor. I knew I wanted to be a teacher at an early age and after 6th grade, ancient Egypt and Greece earned places in my heart. This job is a genuine dream come true for me, with writing being a serious passion of mine and ancient history my favorite subject to study!
Outside of the realm of education, my family and I enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, going to the beach or lake, riding roller coasters, and spending time with our extended family as much as possible. My wonderful husband, Mike, and I have been a couple for going on 15 years and we have 2 wonderful children, Conner and Lily. I love to make things with my hands and have been known to papercraft, make jewelry, sew, quilt, face paint, and use my Cricut to make any and everything else I can think of! I am an anime lover and a self-proclaimed nerd who plays video games and wears Dragonball Z shirts to date night. I love baseball and softball and watching my Yankees play but I am also quite knowledgeable when it comes to Los Angeles, since my husband watches a LOT of Dodgers baseball (notice in the photo below that I go to Dodgers games with my husband wearing my Yankee shirts, hahaha). I am big on respect and communication, so I hope that my students, parents, and community members will come to me with any questions, comments, or concerns.
I am looking forward to a great year here at Ballico and hopefully many more to come!
Go Braves!
