CUNY Queens College, Flushing, New York, magna cum laude.</p> <p>Bachelor of Science, Biology, Physics. Siena College, Loudonville, New York, cum laude.</p> <p><strong>Teaching Experience</strong></p> <p>I began my career in education as a New York City Teaching Fellow. I worked in a NYC public middle school in Rockaway Park that implemented student-centered learning methodologies, utilized skill-based learning objectives and executed daily reflection exercises. Later on, I made a career change to adapt to my family’s needs. I took a position with a small company that matched me with families that required home instruction (homeschooling) for their children. I worked with middle and high school students with various educational and emotional needs. As their homeschooling science teacher, I provided individualized instruction across the spectrum of science subjects. </p> <p><b>Honors</b></p> <p>New York City Teaching Fellow  </p> <p>New York City Teaching Fellow of the Year Nominee</p> <p>Americorps Educational Grants</p> <p>Adopt-a-Classrooom Grants</p> <p>Sigma Pi Sigma (National Physics Honor Society)</p>
