My name is Michelle Diaz. I was born in Puerto Rico. This is my 18th year teaching, nine of them as a first grade teacher at Hickey Elementary. Previously I taught third grade for three years, and second grade for five years in RISD. I graduated from Bayamon Central University with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I love teaching and inspire students to love learning. I'm very happy to teach in the best school in the world!
