TV sitcoms aren't generally known for realism, but Natalia Ortiz says there's actually a lot that Quinta Brunson's hit show gets right.

Natalia Ortiz is a clinical assistant professor, inquiries lead faculty, and the director of the Office of School and Community Partnerships in NYU Steinhardt's Department of Teaching and Learning.
