Marisa

I have worked in an elementary and middle school for over 15 years teaching all subject areas, with an extensive background in Special Education. I am trained in various reading intervention programs and techniques, such as the Orton Gillingham approach, PAF, and the Wilson Reading Program. I have also worked with students individually, as well as in small groups to help develop and improve their decoding and encoding skills. I attended Fordham University for my undergraduate degree as well as my Master’s degree in Childhood and Special Education. I also received my School Building Leader Certification from Hunter College. In my free time, I enjoy playing with my young daughter and running in Central Park.
