I have been teaching students with disabilities, as well as general educated students in mathematics for the past five years. After graduating from the University of New York at Old Westbury with a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, I enrolled in the NYC Teaching Fellows Program. This program selects qualified individuals to teach in a low-performing city school while taking graduate classes to obtain teaching certification.  During the fellowship, I taught students with disabilities, as well as general educated students in mathematics at Richmond High School in Queens, New York. I received a Masters degree in Education at St. John’s University while teaching in Queens. Currently, I teach math and special education in a middle school in Eastern Long Island. 

While I thoroughly enjoy teaching special education, my long term goal is to teach math in different ways than the status quo. The experience in teaching students with disabilities has only made me more dynamic in how I present information. I appreciate the years I’ve had helping students who struggle in math; as it has taught me a lot about myself and how concepts are presented. I’ve also been tutoring math for several years. Over the years, I’ve tutored students in Math 7 and 8, Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, and SAT/ACT Math. I enjoy the challenge that math presents and the reality of how important it is in our world.
