Danie Moss-Velasco
Candidate for Assembly, 6th District
Danie Moss-Velasco
I have been a Jersey resident since 2011. I was brought up in a Mexican-American family that emphasized education, service to others, personal and community pride and a growth mindset...before the term was even coined! As a lifelong educator, I've seen all stages of the educational process from preschool through university, across the country and across 3 continents. Having taught in 5 states and abroad and been involved in Global Studies at the university level the past 6 years, I have designed, implemented and built upon best practices in hands on education for the last two decades. Drawing on this perspective and experience, I would like to bring innovation, relevancy and a bilingual focus to Jersey school curriculums with advanced language opportunities, project based learning and less standardized testing. Having been an entrepreneur and the director of an international school, I am convinced that what is needed is not more money, but a better managed budget that prevents our hard earned taxes from seeping through the cracks and going directly to the salaries, programs and initiatives that reflect our priorities as a community.
