Hello, my name is Berenice Anaya and I am the office manager at EAGLE Maryvale. As the office manager I am responsible for the smooth operation of the school's administrative office. 

I have a deep love for reading and learning, it's something I truly cherish. I believe that one of the greatest ways we can serve others is by sharing what we know.

I’m a proud mother of two wonderful girls and have been happily married for 21 years. I’ve worked in education for the past 12 years. I began my journey teaching at a Montessori school and later transitioned into administration, which I absolutely love. I truly can't imagine being anywhere else but surrounded by children.

There’s something special about walking through the hallways, seeing kids laughing, playing, and learning, it brings me so much joy.
