I am so excited to start my second year at SkyView Academy. I grew up in Cape Town, South Africa, and moved with my family to London, UK as a teenager. After working as a Speech Therapist in London and for a political think tank in Brussels, Belgium, I moved to the US. I then decided to pursue my passion for supporting all students as a School Counselor. I have a wonderful 10-year-old son who loves to ski, play soccer, and travel. I also have a very sweet mini-Goldendoodle Lucky, who is our therapy dog. She comes to SkyView 2 days a week and is part of the team!

Hello! My name is Becca Gendreau, and this is my first year at SVA. I'm just shy of being a Colorado native, having moved here at the age of 11. I left to attend college in Ohio and came right back afterward - I missed the sunshine and the mountains! I hold a Bachelor's degree in International Studies, a Bachelor's degree in Latin American Studies with a minor in Spanish, and a Master's degree in Elementary Education. My fiancé and I love to travel, hike, and cook!

Middle School Sped ISP. Taught HS and MS English and Speech before I was married. I have also dabbled in hotel management/event planning and corporate property management. When I became a mom, I decided I wanted to do that full-time. I loved being a stay-at-home mom for many years. However, I spent two years subbing at SVA during Covid, and it rekindled my love of teens and teaching. I live with my husband, 3 crazy kids, and my super cute dog in Highlands Ranch. We love this place, and we are so thankful we have been part of the SVA family since 2012 when my oldest started preschool.

Music has been a part of my life since I was a young child – now I have the blessing and privilege of sharing music with students. I have been at SkyView Academy since 2013 and I absolutely love it! I teach K-5th grade music and direct the Sounds of the Sky Elementary Choir. My teaching journey started in Denver, transitioned to Heritage High School (my alma mater), then transitioned to staying home with my 3 boys (for 13 years). While I raised our boys, I also taught lessons and managed the Parker branch of the Children’s Music Academy. I live in Parker with my husband. I enjoy golfing, walks, participating on my church worship team, coffee, reading a good book, and spending time with my family (we play many games and outdoor activities).

College/University: I have three semesters left until I graduate from MSU Denver.
I'm a NYer through-n-through, transplanted to Colorado in 2000, and haven't looked back. Although, I do miss the cultural diversity and authentic food! Love the Rocky Mountains and endless trails for hiking and cycling, my therapy. I have one daughter and three Boston Terriers, my fur babies. My hubby and I started ballroom dancing at Fred Astaire dance studios and are having so much fun! An unknown fact about me is that my uncle was an extra in the movie the God Father, dancing the Waltz in the wedding scene. I guess dancing runs in the family. 😉
