Mrs. Dion Brown

My name is Dionsela Brown (Ms. Dion). I was born and raised in a small town in the mountains in La Grita, Venezuela. I went to elementary and high school in the same town. At the age of seventeen, my family moved to San Cristóbal city two hours from my home town. There I attended the University of Los Andes, where I earned my degree in education. I then spent the next seventeen years teaching students at two different elementary schools. In 1999 I met my husband and moved to the United States. In 2005 I began teaching as a teacher assistant here at Lanier Elementary School where I enjoy my life doing what I love to do which is teaching children.
