Danielle Corbin

Danielle Corbin is a proud Bajan American, Brooklyn (E.N.Y) native, who teaches 6th Grade Science and Urban Gardening in The Bronx at South Bronx Early College Academy. She has a Bachelor's degree in Business and her Master’s degree in Childhood Education. Growing up in a community and encountering many students during her adult teaching, who have struggled or fell through the cracks with many tools they could have learned in Elementary to High School has driven her love for aiding and developing children. These encounters, as well as noticing the lack of empathy and socio-emotional learning in children from their home and school environments has motivated her to want to teach and provide students with the tools they need in the future. Her mission is to make the connection between everything children learn and how it applies to the real world. “Children can gain a sense of autonomy and a sense of health and wellness through education. Even if that’s through urban gardening, the sciences, or whatever they study, it can help them flourish in their day to day lives. Children have no idea the impact they can make on the world with the things they learn in their environment. The Universe orchestrated this journey; I am a thankful passenger who is looking forward to the future.” - Danielle Corbin
