Her career in education began as a City Year Corps member, where she witnessed the transformative power of education firsthand. This experience ignited her passion for teaching and laid the foundation for her ongoing mission to create lasting change in the educational landscape.
Theresa’s early career as a classroom teacher in Miami allowed her to cultivate a love for learning in her students. She later expanded her impact as a Curriculum Support Specialist for Miami-Dade County Public Schools, where she designed and implemented innovative instructional strategies. Her dedication to professional and leadership development led her to The SEED School of Miami, where she served as the Founding Director of High School Academics.
