Enjoy keynote speaker Andrea Michelle. Michelle is from San Diego, California, and was a high school English teacher for nine years. She taught through the pandemic with a newborn and a toddler running around, nursing and throwing goldfish around in between and sometimes during Zoom sessions. She has experience teaching grades 9-12 and spent three years teaching at a private school and six years at Title 1 public schools. Andrea has a bachelor's degree in English, a master's degree in English, a master's degree in secondary education, and a PhD in curriculum and instruction. Andrea started creating content online in the fall of 2021 after seeing how she and her colleagues felt so unheard by their communities. Andrea now uses humor and satire to bring light to the challenges of teaching and hope for a better tomorrow.
