I grew up in Flushing, NY. I attended Adelphi University and received a dual degree in Early Childhood Special Education. This is my third year teaching in the NYCDOE and I'm always growing and learning from my students. I enjoy watching children learn and progress through their experiences with themselves, their peers, and their teachers. I love to sing and dance, read, travel, and spend time with my family.

Kindergarten Teacher, Class K2

I went to Long Island University CW Post. I graduated with my degree in early childhood and childhood education. I decided to come to PS 330 to give the students the tools they need to become whatever they aspire to be in life and to make sure they never give up. Elementary school was a great time for me, and was the reason I wanted to become an elementary school teacher. I specifically remember my first grade teacher. She taught me learning could be fun, and that I was capable of whatever I put my mind to. This is exactly what I want to instill in my students, and hope to bring back the love of learning.

Hi, My name is Emilia Diaz and I am a second-grade dual language teacher. I was born in Cuenca, Ecuador and migrated to the United States when I was 2 years old and raised in Corona Queens. It is honor to be able to serve the community that helped shape the woman and educator I am today. I have a younger sister and brother whom I am extremely close with. I enjoy traveling, bike riding and hiking on my spare time. I look forward to an exciting school year where we will grow together.
