My name is Dora Moldovan, and I am originally from Romania, where I began my career as a kindergarten teacher. I came to the United States 20 years ago as an international teacher, bringing with me a wealth of experience in education. For the past 16 years, I have served as a special education teacher, counselor, and assistant principal with Vance County Schools. I am very excited to join the Wake County Public School System and the amazing staff at Green Leadership and World Languages Magnet Elementary School this year. As the Assistant Principal, my primary goal is to support and enhance the overall educational experience for our students. I firmly believe that a successful school environment relies on the combined efforts of all its members. My aim is to work closely with all stakeholders to ensure our students receive the best education and support they deserve. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and traveling.
