Biography

My name is Marissa Mota and I am a Science Teacher in Fall River. I have had many jobs in and surrounding education, from tutoring on a college campus to working as a para-professional in sub-separate classrooms and finally working as a teacher in an urban school district. These Jobs have taught me that all students are capable of learning and that there are many strategies that enable students to reach their goals. My Job is to help students understand biological concepts and I know that with a little hard work and encouragement anyone can be a scientist!
