Family:
I am married to Daniel D’Orazio, and we have four amazing, energetic children (Stella, Anna, Luca, and Leo). I loved school! I was in Student Government, Band, and ran track and cross country. If you see us in the community, please come and say Hi! We love meeting new people.
Why did you decide to join The Promise School?
I have two bright children, one with dyslexia, and one with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. As a parent, I wanted a school environment that would completely focus on dyslexia, one that would nurture their soul, and understand the full education, social, and emotional needs of the dyslexic child. My husband and I believe that with amazing educators, engaged parents, and a supportive community, we will build a world-class community asset that will have impact near and afar, with each child and family that our school has the privilege to serve.
Favorite School Moment:
I have witnessed how my children flourish in the right education environment, especially my children with dyslexia. Additionally, I see the power of meeting each of their unique developmental needs whether it is occupational therapy, speech and language, counseling, skills building, sports, dancing, or community service.
