“There is another world, but it is in this one.” —W.B. Yeats
In 2013, Carmen earned her master’s in Early Childhood Education from Brooklyn College. With two toddler boys at home, she transitioned to a full-time teaching job at Poly Prep in 2015. A career-changer and lifelong learner, Carmen taught third grade for seven years before making the move to teach science. Among her many passions, she loves asking new questions, building ingenious solutions, solving puzzles, and studying insects and other arthropods. She believes in promoting an attitude of resilience and bravery in the face of mistakes. Carmen has been actively involved in sustainability, character education, and equity work across both campuses since her first days at Poly. The following quote inspires her teaching: “My job is to lead children to both discover and create the other world that exists within this one.”
