Episode 68: Carlo Barrera | Part 1 of 4 DACA - The dreamers next door.

Carlo Barrera is a 27-year-old K-2nd Grade Science Teacher at the Speyer Legacy School in Manhattan. He was born in Queretaro, Mexico and his family immigrated to Austin, TX when he was 6 years old. “Mr. B”, as his students call him, majored in Economics at Kenyon College and, afterward, spent two summers interning for Ernst & Young. In his senior year, Carlo was offered a full-time job from EY but decided to turn it down and pursue his passion for teaching. After graduating, Carlo began teaching in the fall of 2015 at Success Academy in Brooklyn. That spring, he began as an Associate Science Teacher for grades K-4. After one year at Success Academy, he was offered the K-2nd Grade Lead Science Teacher role at Speyer Legacy School and is currently in his 3rd year at that school. One of his biggest passions is soccer: Carlo coaches the K-4th grade after school soccer program and the 7/8th-grade Varsity team in the Fall. During his free time, Carlo religiously follows his favorite soccer team: FC Barcelona.
