Greta Siddiqui

Born and raised in a small town in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, Greta Siddiqui comes from a long line of educators. Her grandparents immigrated to the United States from Slovakia in the 1920s and opened a butcher shop in New York City without speaking a word of English. The pair raised five children, including a daughter who studied education at the State University of New York at Oneonta. While there, the daughter met her future husband, also a student of education. The two got married and gave birth to Greta Siddiqui. The family moved to upstate New York to a small town on the Hudson River, where the thriving business was the International Paper Company.

Following in her parents' footsteps, Greta Siddiqui decided to become an educator. She attended the State University of New York at Brockport and earned a Bachelor of Science in Education. She gained valuable experience as a kindergarten student teacher at English Village Elementary and as a fourth-grade student teacher at Kirk Road Elementary, both in Rochester. Once she gained the necessary certifications, Greta Siddiqui began teaching at Corinth Central School—spending several years as the school's permanent substitute teacher and serving as the Remedial Math Teacher for grades 2 to 6. Siddiqui also coached the school's field hockey team.

In her free time, Greta Siddiqui devotes herself to community service and physical endeavors. She supports the Christian Foundation for Children and Aging and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Additionally, Greta Siddiqui enjoys running for charity, practicing yoga, jet skiing, and camping with her three children.
