Mother Stereotypes Redefined

My kids and I deliver vegan desserts to neighbors.

I launched a non-profit called The Learning Hub in an effort to increase STEAM accessibility through the revitalization of local libraries and provide a free, interactive learning experience for children as young as 6 years old.

Good deeds can stem from holding a door to picking up trash. As a retired New York City science teacher I tried each day to bring excitement of learning to my students. Often this took great patience and empathy. I sincerely hope that I instilled possibilities for their future in their hearts and minds. A compliment can instill confidence. It is a very simple good deed with immense power.

As a teacher of students with disabilities, I make sure that everyday I provide my students with the support, resources, and the care they need in order to ensure their personal growth and academic success. Being part of my students' growth and success is very rewarding and it is one of the reasons why I love my job so much. As a mother, and as a professional Latina woman, I want to be a role model for my sons and students. I want them to know that with motivation, dedication, and effort dreams and goals can be achieved.

I care.
