Global TeacherLia Cristina Seirotti, 2025 Teacher of the Year recipient, graduated from Florida International University with a bachelor’s degree in education. She then went on to earn her master’s degree in educational psychology from Florida State University, where she focused on online instructional design. For over a decade, she has had the privilege of teaching students from all walks of life and across a wide range of ages.
She firmly believes that all students deserve the opportunity to learn in the most supportive and conducive environment possible, whether that is within the walls of a traditional classroom or through a virtual school setting. The teacher’s role is to create authentic, engaging experiences that allow students to gain knowledge in ways that are meaningful and applicable to the real world. It is with this philosophy in mind that she made the decision to step away from the conventional education system and embrace a global journey of educating students online.
Beyond teaching, she is passionate about writing, social media, and volunteer work. Through these channels, she hopes to continue inspiring, motivating, and connecting with her students, helping them grow both academically and personally.
