Guest Bio: I am a 26 yr elementary teacher. I taught most of my career as an NYC public school teacher. My area of expertise is in lower elementary /PreK-5. I have had the privilege of being a Bilingual and ESL teacher and will embark on my journey as a Spanish teacher this fall. I have participated in several leadership roles over the years as part of the School Leadership Committee, presenter at Columbia University Teachers College/Citywide PD in NYC, and ESL presentations in LRSD. I have been an LRSD Novice Teacher Mentor, LREA teacher representative, and currently an NEA Representative Assembly delegate. I am a graduate of the IMPACT Fellowship Program at the University of Arkansas, a member of the Teacher Leadership Institute, an LRSD Aspiring Leader and a Parent Facilitator. I am currently working on my ESL National Board Teacher Certification.
