Backed by years of expertise in education, Ms. Farris presently serves as a learning specialist and curriculum fellow for Achievement First Crown Heights Elementary School, where she serves as a reading specialist for kindergarten through second grade. Similarly, she teaches phonics, decoding, and the basics of reading in integrated co-teaching.
