Hello everyone! My name is Siena Bickham and I am beyond thrilled to join the New Albany team! I grew up in a small Kentucky town but moved to Columbus my 9th grade year and attended Westerville Central High School. I then went on to attend Miami University and graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Science in Early Childhood Education, a minor in Special Education, and the 4th and 5th-Grade Endorsement. Last year I taught first grade at the school where I completed my student teaching in Hamilton, Ohio! 

I consider myself to be a lifelong learner passionate about growing the minds and hearts of young students. As an educator, I am dedicated to creating an inclusive classroom climate that reflects my students, their experiences, and their interests. I truly believe I have the best job in the world and find such joy in watching my students excel! 

Outside of school, I love spending time with friends and family! I also enjoy reading, cooking, shopping, road trips, and spending time outside! Other favorites of mine include coffee, HGTV, and country music! This summer I got married to my high school sweetheart and together he and I spent lots of time decorating our first home together! I know it’ll be an amazing school year and I look forward to working alongside the students, families, and staff at New Albany Intermediate!
