Alexis Sirrakos is originally from Detroit, Michigan and received her Bachelor of Arts in Biology with a concentration in Environmental Science from Kalamazoo College.  Before moving to New York city, she spent a year in Chicago involved in the AmericCorps program, City Year, where she worked with urban elementary school students to improve their literacy in English.  While in New York City, she received her Masters in Science Education from Lehman College while working as a middle school math and science teacher in the Bronx.  She recently moved back to New York City from Germany, where she continued to teach math and science at Dresden International School. In her free time, Alexis enjoys exploring new places (foreign and local), playing and watching sports (her favorite is soccer!) and taking photographs.  

Alexis will be teaching Foundations Science and is looking forward to working with the Lyons community.  She is really excited about using all of the resources New York City has to offer throughout the year, especially during the Field Studies unit!
