Hi, My name is Laura Mauritsen, I am lucky enough and happy to say this is my 6th year working as a paraprofessional for Queens Explorers. During my time here I have been a paraprofessional in grades PK, 2nd, 3rd and 5th grade. I have enjoyed every grade and I love seeing our students learn and watch how they grow. Knowing I can make a difference in a child’s life is the most rewarding part of my job. Prior to my career working for the DOE I was in the Travel Industry which enabled me to travel the world for most of my adult life. I love sharing with my students of the many places I have been to and sharing what I have learned about different countries and their culture. When I am not in school I love spending time with my family. I have 3 sons, 2 of which are twins. I have the cutest little dog name Ellie, and 2 cats, Melo and Bella.

My family and I love to travel, especially going on cruises.

I am so much looking forward to seeing my QE family again. I know we are going to have a fabulous year!
