Ewelina Bledniak
Teacher substitute
My name is Ewelina Bledniak and I was born in Poland, but have lived most of my life in Georgia. When I was young, I attended this school and was able to become more proficient in my native language. I also learned more about Polish culture and history and developed skills like writing, which I might not have learned well otherwise. Despite my busy schedule as an adult, I have helped as a teacher assistant at the school and I am now a substitute when extra help is needed. Outside of working here, I am a research assistant at the Center for Advanced Brain Imaging.
