I hold a B.A. Degree in Bilingual Elementary Education Grades 1-6 with a concentration in Puerto Rican and Latino Studies from CUNY, Brooklyn College. I recently completed my M.A. Degree at Teachers College, Columbia University within International Educational Development and a concentration in Bilingual/Bicultural studies October 2020. I have worked in public education for the past six years and in private for two years before entering the public school system. I am currently an I.A. Assistant Principal who has served as an Equity and Restorative Justice Coordinator and Computer Science Teacher (en Español), and a bilingual teacher grades 3-5 in Brooklyn, NY. Lastly, when I am not facilitating a workshop and working with my community I am studying in an Educational Leadership MSEd. program where I am furthering my leadership skills through a program with CITE and The College of St. Rose. Or I’m cooking something delicious en La Cocina Girasol! 🌻
