Meet The Teacher: Gaby Torres, Viera High School

This post is one in a series of “Meet the Teacher” blogs celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week, May 4-8, 2020. The teachers featured in this series are K-12 educators across Central Florida who also serve as the Campus Advisor for their school’s Miracle Network Dance Marathon. In addition to their responsibilities as K-12 teachers, they guide Dance Marathon students through a year of raising funds and awareness for Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, encouraging and challenging them as leaders, and instilling in them a sense of philanthropy.

Meet The Teacher: Gaby Torres

Teaches: Math and Leadership, 9th-12th grades

Has been teaching for: 13.5 years

Favorite part about teaching: The interaction with kids. Seeing their faces when they accomplish something great.

Being “FTK” means to me: It means changing lives at the school, hospital, and community. I love exposing them to the fact that there are others that have needs far greater than those they go through that seem like it’s the end of the world.
