Hello! My name is Ms. Jesyka Barbieri, and I currently teach 1st grade at Pi Beta Phi. I earned both my bachelor's degree and my master's degree from East Tennessee State University. Prior to teaching here in Gatlinburg, I taught at a school in Cocke County. I have two young boys named Declan and Ronan, and they truly are the best parts of my life. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy hiking, painting, and spending time with my children. I believe that every student is capable of great things, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with our young Mountaineers!
