Joliette

My name is Joliette and I am an elementary educator and photographer. I am dedicated to helping students see learning as fun and accessible, and I love seeing the "a-ha!" moment in their faces as a new concept clicks.
I taught for four years at Samara Community School, a dual-language elementary school in the Bronx. During my time in the classroom, I taught reading, math, writing, science, and social studies. After leaving the classroom, I spent time as a Curriculum Specialist at NY Sun Works; an education nonprofit that brings climate education and science into classrooms through hydroponics. I graduated magna cum laude from Boston University with a BS in Elementary Education and Teaching English as a Second Language, and later received my MS in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Urban Education from CUNY The Graduate Center.
