Daniela Hurley (she/her)
Elementary Social Studies Curriculum Specialist
Started in Arlington in 2009.
Education: B.S. in Elementary Education from Boston University, M.A. in Reading from Lesley University
Hometown: Stoneham, MA
Interests: I really enjoy music, gardening, baking, and cooking. When I am not busy being a mom, I am digging my fingers in the dirt, planting my vegetable garden or adding flowers around my yard. I also love to cook new things and bake (and eat) delicious desserts!
Best part of working in Arlington: I think the best part of being in this community is being able to watch it grow. I have been fortunate enough to spend my career in one place and I have seen Arlington learn and grow so that it can better reach the students in its schools. I love that every part of Arlington is constantly striving to be and do better.
