I was born and raised in the Bronx, NY. I graduated from CUNY City College with a BA degree in English. I graduated from CUNY Lehman College with a Masters degree in Secondary English Education. This is my sixth year teaching high school English. I moved from NY to New Bern, NC in July 2017. I am currently working on my PhD in Leadership in Educational Administration. I love to read and write, as well as, spend time with family and friends. I am excited about the 2018-2019 school year!
