The Description

Hi everyone, thank you for checking out my PledgeCents page! I've just completed Teach for America’s 2018 Atlanta Institute where I had the pleasure of co-teaching 17 amazing students in 9th grade ELA, and I'm so excited to continue my journey in education with my move to New Orleans!

About the Creator

My name is Melissa Sullivan and I'm going to be a first year Special Education teacher at Abramson Sci Academy in New Orleans. After years of working in the tech industry in San Francisco, I'm happy to be switching careers into an area that I've been passionate about for my whole life!

Special Education holds great importance in my heart: my younger sister has Downs syndrome and just graduated high school this year. With the profound support of her special education teachers, she has seen significant growth both academically and personally. I'm so excited to be taking on this new role in the fall and am looking forward to meeting my students so soon! Thank you so much for your consideration in donating to my classroom!
