BIO:
As a K-8 teacher for over 20 years, Cecelia Rose
Baloian understands the social and educational needs of young
girls. Her experience covers teaching a wide diversity of children
both culturally and academically. Currently she resides in Half
Moon Bay, California and teaches sixth grade.
While earning her Master’s degree in Education
in Instructional Technologies, she pursued issues concerning technology
gender gaps and gender stereotyping, which begin with children
in kindergarten. Her concern with building personal self-esteem
and self-confidence with technology skills in young girls inspired
the creation of The New Adventures of Cherry Star.
Mrs. Baloian continues to design curriculum that
integrates technology into the classroom and mentoring new teachers
in the use of classroom computers. Her dream is to extend her
teaching knowledge and experience into the software and curriculum
design industry.
