She is certified in The Writing Revolution's Hochman Method and is passionate about language and literature. Ms. Pham joined Siena after teaching at Fusion Academy, where she taught students with dyslexia, ADHD, and language-based learning differences. She is a lifelong learner who values social justice, which is at the center of her teaching. After college, Ms. Pham spent five years in New York City working at a social science nonprofit and education technology start-up. Her first teaching experience was at a Brooklyn charter school, where she provided small-group reading and writing instruction to middle school students. Outside of teaching, Ms. Pham enjoys reading, playing chess, and spoiling her cats. 

Why I Teach At Siena: Because I want to empower students with learning differences to share their creative and intellectual gifts with the world.
