Katie McNelly

I have 12 years experience as a public educator across both Virginia and New York. I’ve taught in a variety of roles, including middle school English Language Arts teacher, special education teacher and case manager, fourth grade teacher, reading interventionist, IEP coordinator, and new teacher mentor. I was a proud member of the UFT during my time in New York City, where I learned all the ways unionizing stands to benefit public school employees and students. Now, I hope to bring that knowledge and experience to support teachers here in Virginia, as we pave the way for contract negotiations!
