Claire Bozdog is thrilled to be on the 1st grade teaching team and to continue her journey at Echo Horizon! Originally from Northern California, Claire holds both a Bachelor's degree in Childhood and Special Education and a Master’s degree in Teaching English as a Second Language, both from New York University. While at NYU, she also pursued her passion for American Sign Language (ASL), took part in mental health advocacy, and raised funds for childhood cancer. Her favorite thing about Echo is the way it celebrates each child’s uniqueness, creating a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and at home. In and out of the classroom, Claire is passionate about nurturing creativity, curiosity, and kindness. When she’s not teaching, you can find her hiking in nature, enjoying time at the beach, practicing yoga, or spending time with her family.
