Hola! My name is Aixa Cortes. I am of Puerto Rican descent, but I was born and raised in Trenton, NJ. I was a student at Mott when I was young, and now I am a second grade bilingual teacher here. This is my second year teaching at Mott Elementary School, and I love it! I have enjoyed being able to teach, relate to my students' experience, and show my students the beauty of being bilingual. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my dogs, and planning events for the youth at my church.
