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!
