Celebrities who are also teachers

Many celebrities have surprised fans by stepping into the classroom, proving that their influence goes beyond fame and the spotlight. Some pursued teaching before their big break, while others returned to education out of passion for learning and service.
Before becoming a familiar face on television in the late '80s, TV host Ruby Rodriguez worked as a preschool teacher. Journalists Kara David, Marisol Abdurahman, and Steve Dailisan also spent years in the classroom, sharing their expertise with students.
These celebrity-teachers remind us that education can be a calling as powerful as fame, and that the skills used on stage or screen like creativity, discipline, and communication are just as valuable in the classroom.
