At GiftedNYS, we know the challenges and opportunities of working with these creative, neurodiverse students and the possibilities for serving them. Meet your co-facilitators:
|
Samantha Gabrielli, GiftedNYS Director - Programs and Services, has over a decade of advocacy and K-12 classroom teaching experience in charter, public, and independent education systems. She’s passionate about using curricular design and differentiation to create safe, joyous, and challenging learning spaces for asynchronous learners.

Shirleen Odom, GiftedNYS Director - Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, is currently a middle school educator with expertise in teaching students with special needs. She is also New York State certified in gifted education. Her experiences as a gifted student in New York City’s public education system have propelled Shirleen to become a committed voice for gifted, twice-exceptional, and economically disadvantaged students who are underrepresented and underserved in urban communities and rural areas.
