Biography:
Teacher of the Year 2020-2021
Hello. I am Mayelin Romero, a first-grade teacher at Thomas Jefferson School. I have worked for the Union City district for 15 years, teaching Kindergarten before teaching first grade. I know first grade is a huge transition, but I love it. I trust that we can work together for a successful year like every year. I have always been passionate about teaching the Jefferson Jaguar kids, and I especially enjoy it!
I was born and raised in Havana, Cuba, in the Guines Valley. In 2008, I moved to the United States with my family.
I graduated "From Ruben Martinez Villena" University in 2000 with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science Education. Later, I attended N.J.C.U. and earned my pre-school, E.S.L., Bilingual Teacher Certification, Master of Arts in Urban Education, and Supervisor certification. I look forward to many more years of teaching the brilliant students at Jefferson School.
