About the Instructor
Nicole Gutierrez.  Hello! My name is Nicole Gutierrez, although I am most commonly referred to as Miss Nicole (or at times, Miss Mommy). I am very happy to be here at Red Cloud for a second year.  I currently am the Religion teacher in Mackert, and I love it – it has been amazing to engage students on a spiritual level, developing their beliefs, seeing themselves as precious children of God, and finding God in the world around them.  I am originally from the Los Angels area, where I affectionately consider home.  I attended Loyola Marymount University in Los Angles, with a double-major in Sociology and Chicana/o Studies.  During my years in college, I found a lot of joy working with students throughout the city, and continue to find that joy here in Pine Ridge, as a member of the Red Cloud community.  I have a love for art, spicy food, cities, and the night sky in South Dakota.
