Hi, my name is Natalia Salata and I’m beyond excited to join Inspire Elementary as the ELD-S teacher! I was born in La Paz, Bolivia and grew up in Northern Virginia, close to Washington D.C., our nation’s capital. I graduated from Virginia Tech, and have a background in reading, gifted and talented education and recently, I earned my Masters of  Arts Degree in Culturally, and Linguistically, Diverse Education. I have been teaching for 23 years and it is my passion. I like to say that I don’t teach students, but I serve them. I enjoy and treasure the time I spend with my family and friends, but I also love reading, listening to 80’s music and traveling.
