Anne Marie DeSimone

Anne Marie joined The Gooden School in 2021. She has a bachelor's degree in directing from Cleveland State University and was an elementary teacher in Orlando, Florida prior to her family relocating to California. Anne Marie has a passion for helping others by lending a hand or a kind word. She considers it a successful day when she makes someone smile or laugh, especially when they don’t want to.

She is married with three children and a dog, who keep her pretty busy, but when she has some downtime she enjoys reading, making projects with her Cricut, and researching that fantasy vacation that she's going to take one day.
