Elissa Merchant

I have been in education for 14 years. As I was obtaining by bachelors degree, I worked as a kindergarten paraprofessional. I was in that position for 5 years. Once I received my teaching license, I worked as a first grade teacher. I moved to second grade in 2019 and have been a second teacher for the last 6 years. I received my Masters degree in teaching in 2018.

I love teaching and it is my passion. From a young age I knew I wanted to become a teacher and I can’t see myself doing anything else.
