About me

¡Hola! My name is Señorita Acosta and I am going to be your child’s Spanish teacher at Ridge Road Middle School this year. I was born in the Dominican Republic and grew up in Brooklyn, New York. I moved to North Carolina for college and have loved it ever since! This will be my fifth year teaching and my first year at Ridge Road. I love reading and taking long walks with my dog Coalie. I am so excited to get to know you all this year!


I graduated from Wake Forest University in 2014 where I majored in Education and minored in Spanish and English. I graduated from Gardner Webb University in 2017 with a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction. I am beginning my Doctorate at UNCC this Fall 2018.
