Claudette Shatto's experience spans two decades, having received a Master’s degree in Business alongside four other degrees. She served as the VP of sales and marketing at an internationally recognized winery. She currently teaches business and entrepreneurship as a tenured professor at Napa Valley College.

In 2022 she was named "Best Educator" by the Napa Valley Register.

Claudette is also the author of Gazill Hill, a children’s book that encourages bravery, resilience, and positive self-talk. Through storytelling, Claudette teaches young readers essential leadership skills and an entrepreneurial mindset. Her work inspires a growth mindset, empowering children to embrace challenges and develop inner strength.

Before she started writing, Claudette worked diligently developing a leadership curriculum for first and fifth graders, which she has since successfully adapted into multiple elementary schools, as well as for the Girl Scouts of America. Additionally, for two years she lent her talents as a radio DJ on 99.3 The Vine, interviewing “Kool Kids” who are making a difference in their community.

When not teaching at Napa Valley College you can find her in an elementary classroom teaching the Entrepreneur Mindset to 5th graders. Her recent passion project is teaching Leadership to Kindergarten and First graders. She is a classic type A, life-long over-achiever, and is dedicated to serving her community.

Her superpower is the ability to teach others.
