Hi! My name is Kéli (Kaylee) Janzen and I am excited to join the Creek as a new K-2 special education teacher. I am originally from Templeton, CA, but came over to AZ to go to Grand Canyon University during 2020 COVID season. I graduated this year with a B.S. in Early Childhood Education and Early Childhood Special Education. 

My past experience includes interning and substitute teaching at charter, private, and public schools across the Phoenix area. I also provided in-home respite and habilitation services through Arion Care Solutions with a sweet non-verbal boy with autism. I'm thankful for all I learned though these jobs, but am so glad I landed at Copper Creek with an incredible team! I look forward to meeting more families and students this year!

Fun Facts about Me: GCU was the experience of a lifetime because of the amazing community I became a part of, which convinced me to stay in Phoenix. Some of my favorite activities are going to the lake (jet ski, yes please!), doing crafty projects, organizing fun group activities with friends and family, and being part of a Bible study. My favorite animal is a Panda and my favorite place I have traveled is Romania.
