Jewel Robinson, a native of Guyana, has been a teacher at Queens Preparatory Academy (QPA) since September 2011, at a time when the school did not have a journalism program.
She got her Associates of Arts (A.A) degree in Advertising, Marketing and Communications at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Afterwards, she attended St. John’s University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts.
Robinson then went on to get one Master’s degree in Education, and a 2nd degree in education: TESOL (K-12).
She currently teaches Journalism and English at QPA. “For me, journalism solidifies my teaching. It’s exposing students to news gathering and reporting, teaching them to speak truth to power,” she said.
