Personal information
Bio
Hello! My name is Laura, and I'm a special education teacher in a 6-12 school in Manhattan. I am the co-teacher in 9th and 10th grade ELA classes, as well as the co-teacher for an 11th grade social studies class. I have always loved working with children, and I spent many years prior to teaching as a nanny and babysitter for children of all ages. In my free time, I love doing crosswords and other puzzles, reading everything from current events to classic fiction, and also enjoying some good ol' fashioned TV binging (Ted Lasso is a current fave!).
