Ellie Rodriguez

I am a poet born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Washington Heights NYC. I have been writing poetry for over twenty five years and have performed in various spoken word events throughout NYC. The written word has been my passion for as long as I have been able to read and no day passes me by without a visit to the page. I am a mother of three and wife to a wonderful man. I attended New York University with a major in English literature and have taught in one form or the other ever since. I have been a daycare teacher, preschool teacher and a nanny for a great part of my life. I believe learning begins when the mind is most receptive and that is when you're a child. My love of learning has led me on the best adventures. I'm looking forward to a million more.
