Ms. Tahiliani has been teaching U.S History for 14 years at New Mission Collegiate Academy, a pilot school within Boston Public Schools. Education has been the foundation to her success. Now, as teacher of fourteen years, she wishes for her students that same success. At the heart of the learning are the students and she expects every single child to succeed and holds every one of them to high academic standards. There are no exceptions, no excuses, to her solemn commitment that every child can learn; every child deserves to be challenged and to have their imaginations sparked. Ms. Tahiliani completed a Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching in 2019 in India and was the 2018 Massachusetts History Teacher of the year.

Brinda Tahiliani received a B.A. from Bates College, M.B.A from Brandeis University in child, youth, and family services and an M.Ed from UMass Boston through the Boston Teacher Residency Program. Additionally, she has a very loving and supportive family. Her family includes her partner John, her son JJ (James John), her younger son Ashram and their dog Sukha. They are her guiding lights.
