Hi, I am Miss Inci Ochoa. I am the teacher with the wacky hair colors and crazy ideas! I was born in Toluca, Mexico. I am first generation, I recently found out I am indigenous and come from the Otimi Tribe. I am very proud of my roots, and I am currently in school to become an Occipital Therapist specializing in young children. I have been working with young children for 5 years and can wait to continue growing that number! I currently live in Berwyn IL with my partner and his three kids and a cute Shiba Inu puppy name Seppy! I can't wait to meet you all and create fun memories. One fun fact about me is that I love oddities, and I love cute paintings of forest animals, especially rats and bats!
