CHRISTIN RAIO

I grew up in Long Island, NY. I attended St. John's University in Queens for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I have obtained a license in Elementary Education, grades 1-6, and a Master's Degree in Teaching Children with Disabilities, grades 1-6. I have worked for the NYCDOE for ten years. I love being able to help children learn and develop throughout the year, both academically and socially. The most rewarding part of my job is the glowing look on a student's face when he/she has mastered a concept that they once struggled with. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family and friends, especially my two nieces. I also enjoy cooking, going out to eat, reading, watching movies as well as sports. I love taking long walks with my dog, Kayla.

kmixay@schools.nyc.gov
I grew up mostly in the Midwest but moved back to New York more than 10 years ago. I received my masters in Childhood Education from CCNY. I enjoy working with my students and helping them reach their goals through education. The one thing I love about teaching is that everyday is a journey. Journeys of growth -- as you grow, students grow, and the class as a whole grows. During my spare time, I love spending time with friends, traveling to new places, trying out new restaurants, and I also enjoy outdoor activities.

I grew up in Fort Greene, Brooklyn and attended John Jay HS. I went to York College, and majored in Psychology and Touro College where I majored in Education. I have worked for the NYCDOE for nine years. I love working with children. I love to know that any deposit I make in their lives will have great returns. Sure, they are not always immediate, but I can rest in knowing that the return will come. My free time is spent with my family. We love to play board games, read together, or go for walks in the park.

I grew up in Brooklyn, NY. I went to Midwood High School in Brooklyn, NY. I completed my undergraduate degree at SUNY Albany and majored in Communications. After graduating, I worked in marketing for 8 years. During which, I went back to school for my masters degree at Queens College for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I have worked for the NYCDOE for 5 years. I decided to change careers because I wanted to have an impact on children's lives. I love knowing that I can make a difference every day. As a child, I always looked up to my teachers... I want to be that kind of teacher, one that inspires her students to be anything they want to be. My free time is spent with my best friend, my 2 year old niece Chloe.

PAULETTE MARTINEZ
IEP Teacher
pmartinez12@schools.nyc.gov
Hi! I am Mrs. Martinez and I am Public School proud! Throughout my education I have attended Public Schools. I attended The City University of New York at Brooklyn College. Teaching is my passion and I want to give back to the Queens community, because I grew up in Queens, that is how I ended up at PS 330. Everyone here is passionate about education and the betterment of our community. PS 330 is a community of learners! I never stop learning, and I hope to instill that mantra to all I encounter. My favorite Public School memory comes from our school! Every year we celebrate "Friends-giving", where students and their parents share meals and stories from our different cultures. I learn so much about my students, their families and experiences, while they learn about me! It is a wonderful time to celebrate food, family and friends.

I grew up in Jackson Heights, Queens. I graduated from Flushing High School. I have a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from City College of New York and a Masters Degree in Education from Metropolitan College of NY. I have worked for the NYCDOE for 10 years. I love the fact that as an educator I hold the key to making a difference in a child's educational career. Some children might see math or reading as a challenge but I have the opportunity to show them that you can overcome these challenges. I have been given the gift of being a second mom in a room full of children who expect and deserve respect, support, comfort, and guidance. I also enjoy learning something new every school year from my students because they are unique in their own way and they are not shy about it :) I spend my free time with my family, especially my sons who think they are the Avengers. I love to smile and make people smile because a single smile can make a huge difference in a person's day.
