Meredith Leiferman was born in Houston, TX and raised in Orlando, FL. She received her Bachelor’s degree in English Literature from the University of Central Florida and is finishing her Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the Florida State University in July 2020. Meredith teaches English to 9th-12th grade at our Tilden Campus. Meredith’s favorite Bible verse is Exodus 14:14.

“More than anything, I want my students to know Jesus. That is the bottom line and the most important thing for them to know when they leave us. I also want my students to leave my class having read more independently than they have in previous years. Reading is so important for our students and I try to stress that a lot throughout the year. I want them to see the power of a good book and a powerful story. With that experience, I also want them to know the value of their own unique stories.”
