As a first-generation American, Mrs. Boti Bi grew up learning to appreciate the unique experience of a household valuing language and culture.  Through study and international travel, her passion for languages quickly grew; she realized that being multi-lingual would allow her access to the world.  Through her career in education as a Spanish teacher, she fell in love with the holistic heartwork that came with supporting students and families.  She learned that education starts by building a community and relationships in the classroom.  Her experiences led her to positions in Instructional Support and School Leadership.  Newcomer International Center's community feels like home, and she is grateful to be a part of a strong team of educators that supports and values ALL students.
