Valeria Martinez
elementary teacher & family connection
Valeria has been with Mosaic for 14 years. She started as a student in 4K, and she is now a Senior in High School. She is currently serving as our Elementary Teacher & Family Connection Coordinator, but she has also taught Latin Dance and Visual Art with us.
Valeria says that Mosaic for her means family. She grew up in the Mosaic program, and made so many special memories. She loves working at Mosaic because she gets to help the students with their academics, and create experiences for them that she didn’t have when she was a kid.
Valeria plans to attend UofSC in the Fall of 2024.
