Hi! My name is Tara Palma.  This is my fourth year teaching at Aura and I am so excited for another year of fun!  Prior to Aura I taught for 7 years as a Special Education and First Grade teacher.  For 7 years, I also worked with children with Autism. I received my BA in Biology from Rutgers University and have my Masters in Elementary Education from St. Joseph's University.  I took some time off from teaching to take care of my two beautiful boys! I'm so excited to be back in the classroom and look forward to a great school year!

When I'm not teaching I enjoy family dinners, going to Phillies and Union games, and playing with the boys on the beach.
