About
I am currently a graduate student at Pace University where I am studying to obtain a masters degree in childhood education with a concentration in students with disabilities. I was accepted into the New York City Teaching Fellows program through which I have been fortunate enough to secure a position as a 5th grade special education teacher. I currently teach at P.S.1x Courtlandt Elementary School, in the South Bronx Ny. I am a graduate of Hampton University where I received a bachelors degree in Public Relations in 2010. I have worked in sales and as a human resources manager. Teaching is my passion and I am grateful to be in a position of fulfillment and joy.
