Hello, my name is PJ Morales, and I am thrilled to be joining Roberts Elementary as the new Art Teacher. Born and raised in the sunny paradise of Puerto Rico, I’ve always had a passion for creativity. I earned my Master’s degree in Graphic Arts, which has fueled my dreams of becoming an inspiring educator.
Before joining Roberts, I had the enriching experience of working as a resident trainer and educator for MAC Cosmetics, where I also had the opportunity to work at New York Fashion Week. My journey has taught me the power of community, and I am eager to bring that spirit to Roberts. I am committed to fostering a safe and inclusive space where everyone feels they belong. As a neurodivergent individual, I understand the importance of diversity and inclusivity in education.
In my classroom, we use the IB character traits as a foundation for respect and mutual understanding. My goal is to create a safe space where students can freely express themselves and grow both academically and personally.
In my free time, I enjoy painting, cooking, and singing.
I look forward to what lies ahead and am excited to get to know my colleagues, our students, and their families.
