About the Presenter:
Ariela Nazar-Rosen graduated cum laude from Wellesley College with a degree in English. She is also a proud alumna of Teen Leadership Rockland! Ariela previously taught English to high-school-aged immigrant and refugee youth for three years through the Phillips Brooks House Association at Harvard University and later worked in a high-school-level Sheltered English Immersion Academy with City Year Boston. She has been able to combine her passions for education and acting by teaching theater to elementary-school students through the New York Public School System. Her positivity and enthusiasm encourage a sense of confidence and competence in young people, and she believes that each student has a unique, meaningful voice that should be heard.
