 Miss Alexia recently moved to Georgia from Maryland. In Maryland she attended McDaniel College where she received hands-on experiences in the classroom through internships and her student teaching. After graduating with a major in Elementary Education and a minor in Spanish she was able to start her teaching career where she taught fourth and second grade.  She had the opportunity to work with students of various levels and needs and helped them progress throughout the school year. 

Alexia is excited to have the opportunity to teach math and science to the amazing kids at The Academy GA!
