My name is Desiree Weissman (but you can call me Desiree), and I will be your teacher this year.
Here are a few facts about me:
I have a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and professional certifications in Secondary English and Secondary Social Studies.
I have been a teacher since 2017 and began my journey with Dual Diploma in 2022.
Before Dual Diploma, I was a brick and mortar middle and high school teacher for five years. I taught students ranging from 11 to 16 years old. While I loved my time as a teacher in the classroom, I love working with students from all over the world!
I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, but now I live in Port Saint Lucie, Florida with my husband, our two children, and our dog, Krypto, who is named after Superman's dog.
When I am not teaching, I love to read, spend time with my family, and travel as often as possible. I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan and have a growing collection of movie props, collectibles, and books!
If you need to contact me, the best way to do so is by sending me an email using your Colegia email account. You may also send me a message on Microsoft Teams during office hours. If you are trying to reach me outside of office hours, please note that I will get back to you within 24 working hours.
