I am a proud fifth grade teacher in a Title I elementary school in New York City. As a special education teacher in an ICT classroom setting, I have the pleasure of working with a variety of students who possess a large range of strengths, interests, needs. I am always looking for new ways to differentiate for my students and find ways to help them see the relevance of education in our diverse community.
