Arry comes to the East Bay from New York City - it’s the first time she’s lived away from the East Coast and she is so excited for this new chapter. Arry attended public schools in Queens and Pace University in Manhattan for undergraduate and graduate programs, where she realized she wanted to get involved in special education and social justice. She began her teaching career working with 1st graders and 2nd graders. She misses lively read-alouds and play-centered classrooms, but she finds the most joy in working with older students. Most recently, she taught humanities to middle school students with language based learning disorders. Arry likes to challenge herself to figure out creative ways for students to access learning, and focuses on honoring students’ curiosity and compassion. She seeks to co-create classroom communities that promote a sense of belonging, feel empowering, and are full of empathy and care. In addition to teaching, Arry is eager to support Maybeck as a Director of Equity and Inclusion. She believes in the power of community and people’s ability to come together and imagine, create, and transform educational spaces to be more inclusive, equitable and anti-racist. Arry is a life-long learner and dreamer, and is passionate about facilitating conversations centered around diversity, equity and inclusion. 

Arry loves to be outside and is so happy to see the sun every day since moving to California! She likes running and has participated in two half marathons and several shorter races. She also enjoys yoga, hiking, and being in or near bodies of water (even though she can’t swim). Arry also loves horror movies and thrillers - from the cheesy and campy to the sinister and horrifying. She likes to read fiction, crochet, cook, and spend time with her pup, Aggie, who is very quickly adjusting to not being a Brooklyn pup anymore.
