Bio
Julia Hishmeh
Ms. Sozzo served as my unofficial mentor at Henry P. Becton Regional High School. She is an excellent mentor and educator who incorporates compassion, professionalism, equity, and high-quality pedagogy in all that she does. Ms. Sozzo's style of teaching is well-rounded and standards-based. She expertly cultivates an environment that is rigorous and pedagogically sound, but also safe, warm, and welcoming. As a leader and mentor, Ms. Sozzo is second to none. She possesses keen foresight and ability to set aside her own personal interests in favor of the interests of a team. She mentors with patience, compassion, and an incredible wealth of knowledge. She is a truly impressive professional, as well as human being. Ms. Sozzo would be an indispensable asset to any team, whether she is in a teaching or supervisory position.
