Miss Gerome, born and raised in Cincinnati, is a proud “Leap Day baby,” born on February 29, making her only 6 ¾ years old by the leap calendar! She spent the first seven years of her career at St. Ursula Villa Academy in Pre-K and enjoyed those years very much. Being a part of young children’s first experience in a school setting allowed her to give her students what they needed to begin their educational experience by sharing her patience, compassion, and joy for life. She spent the 2022-23 academic year teaching third grade math and science in Cincinnati Public Schools, where her students outscored the entire school with year-end scores! Fun fact: Miss Gerome is very athletic; she played softball at McNicholas High School and the University of Cincinnati, where she pitched in the College World Series!
