For this week’s staff spotlight, Ms. Erin Marquardt was chosen to be featured. She is a paraprofessional here at the BCSD.
We asked Miss Marquardt a few questions to get to know her on a more personal level.
Q.) Where did you go to college, and why did you go there?
A.) “I went to Remington College because I wanted to be a medical assistant.”
Q.) Where were you born, and where did you grow up?
A.) “I was born in Cleveland and grew up in Brooklyn.”
Q.) Where did you go to high school, and what activities did you participate in during high school?
A.) “I went to high school here in Brooklyn. I was one of the captains of our volleyball team. I sat on the bench in basketball; Mr. Verba can attest to my lack of skill in basketball. I also participated in Hurricettes.”
Q.) What hobbies are you interested in outside of work?
A.) “I like to garden and do landscaping work during the summer. I also like to read when I have time. I love spending time with my family and going to my children’s sporting events.”
Q.) What inspired you to be a paraprofessional? Was being a paraprofessional your first choice of work?
A.) “It was not my first choice, but having my own children, I realized that I wanted to work with other kids.”
Q.) What is your favorite part of your job?
A.) “The best part of my job is working with special needs students and making a difference in their lives. It is enjoying getting to watch them grow over the years.”
Thank you for all that you do here at the BCSD! Your help around our district does not go unnoticed, and the student body looks up to you as a role model and as someone to come to when a helping hand is necessary.
We appreciate you, Ms. Marquardt.
