Initially working as a public school teacher in New York City for more than a decade, she taught in the classroom as a schoolteacher and a special education resource room teacher.

Fascinated by the profession, Ms. Mitchell returned to academia to obtain a psychology degree, and currently excels along the aforementioned support team. Notably, she was active as an English as a second language teacher at the Bilingual Language Institute in New York City between 1989 and 1993 as well. Moreover, she flourished as an adjunct professor at the College of Mount Saint Vincent and the New York Institute of Technology in 1999.
