ED TECH SPECIALIST

 

Welcome!

​

Hello, I am Mariana Pires.  I have 15 years of experience as an Elementary School educator in California, including four years in Teaching Leadership roles as an Educational Technology Specialist and Instructional Coach.

 

Originally from Sao Paulo, Brazil, and with family ties in Spain and Portugal, I arrived in the United States at the age of 20, continuing my family's history of seeking new opportunities ashore, which dates back to their European migration in the early 1900s.  

​

I have a deep passion for my career as an educator and teacher leader and I am always actively seeking and demonstrating outstanding practices. I strive to always act with excellent professionalism and attitude and to always show superior commitment to the teaching profession.
