Erika Fernandes

Global Teacher

My name is Erika Fernandes.  I was born and raised in Connecticut.  I have lived in Brazil and currently reside in Miami, Florida.  I have been a teacher for 11 years.  I love teaching and foster cross-cultural understanding and collaboration amongst my students.  I began working with Dual Diploma in 2024, and I love making these connections with my students!  In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and kids, traveling, reading, baking and hiking.  I have a Bachelor’s degree in Education from Central Connecticut State University, and a Master’s degree in Global Affairs from Rutgers University.  I also have a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Florida International University.
