Desrivieres went to Jamaica this summer with his wife and kids where he swam around, ate good food and was “lazy and happy.” In his free time, he likes to draw, ride a bike, play with his kids, and coach.

This year, he is teaching Special Education Biology and Algebra I: Part I. He was previously an instructional assistant at Edison High School. He wants his students to know that he is approachable and they should always be comfortable with asking him questions.

Desrivieres went to Howard University and then went on to Virginia Commonwealth University. He is currently working in the Special Education Cohort Program in VCU.
