Daniela Galvez Sghiatti, ALIS 2016, is a first-grade dual immersion teacher at Dual Immersion Academy in Salt Lake City. She teaches the Utah first-grade core curriculum almost completely in Spanish to her students. This intersection of language and traditional math and science is where she has really thrived. Coming from an immigrant parent and minority background, and working with disadvantaged students her entire career, education equity is something she feels strongly about and works towards. While at Georgia Tech, she studied French and Spanish and participated in the pre-teaching program. Sghiatti first started her education career in Atlanta Public Schools before moving to Utah four years ago.
