Sophia DePaola

I am a Reading/Literacy Coach at Doral Academy Preparatory School. I wear many hats during my work day but my main goal is to ensure students are proficient in Reading and Writing and are ready for college and their future careers.

I am passionate about education. I try my best to help my teachers and students at my school to ensure that the students have the necessary reading and writing skills to have a successful future. I want to continue these TEDx events at my school because it will help me achieve my goal in promoting literacy at my school.

I would love to spread the idea that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. I know it sounds like a cliche but this cliche has motivated me to continue going throughout my life when I want to give up.

Reading and Writing interventions

I wanted to promote literacy at my school and I thought of TEDx talks. It seemed like a great way to have students work hard in spreading their idea about what that they are passionate about. I hope to have one event every year and continue to have so many students interested in these events.

I am good at Greek dancing and for making anyone feel comfortable to talk to me about anything.
