Julie Torres

Tucson, Arizona

My name is Julie Torres. I wasn’t always sure that I wanted to be a teacher; somewhere along the way I realized that teaching had been knocking at my door for a long time. I became a teacher because it felt natural; I remain a teacher because my students inspire me.

I am a National Board Certified Teacher (EC-GEN). I have taught in urban Title I schools for 11 years and most recently recruited out of the classroom to coach teachers through the National Board process. I am an Arizona Governor Master Mentor and hold a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  sI migrated west eight years ago and have lived in Tucson with my husband for the past six years.
