Rebecca Ramo-Cofino worked in inner-city public schools in New York City, received a Master of Science in adolescent special education and completed a teaching residency before returning to her hometown of Denver, where she’s now in her sixth year at the city’s only K-12 public school, co-chairing her department. She and husband Jonathan are the parents of Samantha Rose. Rebecca uses her voice in the synagogue setting, leading services and reading Torah, a skill she taught herself during her 90-minute commute underground in New York. She is also a writer and satirist. Matan White welcomed daughter Mia on June 5.
