Ms. Arellano

Ms. Arellano was born in Queens, NY and later moved to Florida where she graduated from the University of Florida. She earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration (Marketing) and through this process discovered her passion for working with people. Her love for fashion led to working at companies such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom.

Driven by her passion for music and concerts, Ms. Arellano moved back to NYC, where she truly felt at home. She is grateful that life after college eventually led her to discover a love for teaching with a focus on social-emotional learning and holistic growth. Through the New York City Fellows program, Ms. Arellano earned her Master's Degree in Education from Long Island University for Teaching Urban Adolescents with Disabilities. She taught Special Education in NYC at high schools for 4 years before fulfilling her dream of moving to Europe.

She lived in Spain for two years teaching English and enjoyed traveling all around Europe. Ms. Arellano returned to NYC and is excited to be teaching as the 8th Grade Content Support Teacher at UASLE.
