My name is Michelle Diaz. I was born in Puerto Rico. This is my 20th year teaching, twelve of them as a first grade teacher at Hickey Elementary.  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 inspiring students to love learning. I'm very happy to teach in the best school in the world!
