Meet Patsy Jimenez at Caliber: Beta Academy!

She was born in Mexicali Baja California, Mexico and moved to San Francisco at the age of 10.  Patsy initially joined the Caliber team as an after-school instructor where she taught Spanish and Arts-and-Crafts to Kinder students that are now in 3rd grade!
