You could say I have always been a teacher, because I have always been energetic, and kind of out there. This specific chapter in my life started when I attended Drew University with aspirations of doing fun math and making money and quickly realizing that Wall Street was somewhere I wanted to stay extremely far away from.
I then found this amazing teaching program through Montclair State University called the Newark-Montclair Urban Teacher Residency Program, and it was in student teaching a 3rd and 4th grade self contained autism classroom where I found my calling to be a special ed teacher. I taught kindergarten self contained autism at McKinley School in Newark for 3 years, and moved to New Jersey Regional Day School in September 2015. After moving to Rafael Hernandez Elementary School from January to June of 2018, I decided to leave Newark Public Schools to see where all my passions – teaching, composting, gardening environmental and social justice advocacy – can take me on this new life adventure.
In 2019, I moved to Georgia and am offering services to assist in families with sustainable travel, while infusing social and environmental justice in their adventures. I am also moving forward learning how to create curriculum and software to assist in adult and young learners.
I love traveling, I love teaching, I love learning, I love caring for children (especially those with special needs) and the environment. As an educator, my goal is to empower our future leaders to be a part of saving and changing the world in a positive way. I am inspired to live my life as a conscious global citizen; to be transparent and thoughtful, and to model my core values everyday and everywhere.
The world is my classroom.
The reason I decided to make a web site is to reach as many children, parents, and interested people as possible to join the cause for peace and equity in the world. I hope this site inspires you to make a positive difference in your community.
The Earth is not given to us by our parents. It is loaned to us by our children, and our children’s children’s children.
