Gabriela Metaras
Huntington Station
Summary
I graduated in May 2022 from High Point University in North Carolina. I was enrolled in a dual program and earned a Bachelor's Degree in both Music and Education Studies. During my student teaching internships, I was assigned to several different settings in an elementary classroom in a nearby public school district. There I was able to develop, create and teach various lessons including music lessons to students with diverse learning abilities.
In the summer of 2022, I resumed my studies at High Point University to pursue a one-year master’s degree program in Communications and Business Leadership. This program honed my skills in effective communication and collaborative teamwork.
Currently, I am in my final semester of my Master of Science in Music Education at Hofstra University. I am currently student teaching and will be graduating in May of 2025.
