Nydia Lerma

2024 marks the fifth year working at PSPA as part of 2nd and 3rd Grade teams as a Teacher’s Assistant. I have a Bachelors in Chemical Engineering from INSTITUTO TECNOLOGICO DE SONORA, and two certificates in teaching ESL in Mexico with over eight years of experience. All of this is to say that my true passion has always been working in the educational system. I was a foreign exchange student in Wisconsin Rapids, WI (It was sooo cold there!) where I completed high school. I have been married to my husband, Joss, for 20 years.We have two daughters, Emma (10) and Regina (7). We have lived in many places including: Mexico, Iowa, Missouri, Germany, but NC is has been our final destination and I am happy to call it HOME! One very special accomplishment in my life is becoming a US citizen. You can see me during PSPA Multi Cultural Night sharing our Mexican heritage such as Dia de los Muertos! In my spare time, I love improving our home, going to the beach/mountains, and being with my family and relatives!
