Dacia is currently the district Science Specialist and STEM Educator with Durham Public Schools in Durham, North Carolina. She is a Discovery Education Guru and Program Champion. She has been an educator for 20 years and absolutely LOVES anything to do with pedagogy.

She believes that we should INSPIRE students by introducing them to what they can do when they finish school.
