I work as an English and ESL teacher at a small secondary school in the South Bronx, and I am the founder and director of IntegrateNYC4me. As a teacher, I work to support students in expanding their reading, writing, and critical thinking skills, and I support teachers in creating curriculum that is accessible and engaging for students across cultures, abilities, skill levels, and interests. As the director of IntegrateNYC4me, I work to transform NYC public schools into a system of integrated, equal, accessible schools by organizing students and school communities to advocate for change. I also work on the organizing council of Teachers Unite, supporting school communities to build strong communities and create alternative systems of discipline that support the socio-emotional development of students. In my free time I love to run, experiment with creative cooking and juicing, and care for my super-hero dog named Luna.
