Talia Albukrek

This is Talia’s second year at the JCC and she is thrilled to be an associate teacher in Classroom 7! Talia is from Long Island, New York, and recently graduated from Barnard College, where she earned her degree in Psychology and Educational Studies. Talia fell further in love with developmental psychology and the exploration of early childhood education during her time at Barnard’s Center for Toddler Development. Over the last few years, she has enjoyed working for educational non-profit organizations such as Sesame Workshop and found her passion for music, Jewish education, and teaching children during her tenure as the music director of Pizmon, Columbia University's Jewish acapella group. She thanks everyone for her warm welcome into the JCC community!
