I have my bachelors degree in childhood education and my master’s degree in early childhood special education. I am currently working toward my applied behavior analysis certification at Hunter College. I grew up in a military family so moving every two years was a huge part of my life. I have been in Manhattan for 7 years, the longest I have been anywhere! I live here with my husband and my 9 month old son, Declan.

  4. Mrs. Andrea Lopez I have been teaching for 10 years. My experience ranges from pre-school to second grade. I have a bachelors degree in elementary education, a masters degree in early childhood and 30 credits above my masters degree in special education. All from Hunter College. I have also been an adjunct lecturer at Hunter College in the literacy department. I grew up in Manhattan but now live in the Bronx with my husband and two daughters. Isabella is 3 years old and Arianna is 17 months.
