About me

My name is Christina Boyle. I am very excited to be starting my 7th year at BBES and my 14th year of teaching overall. I am also a student myself. I am pursuing my doctoral degree at Monmouth University where I am conducting action research about literacy and language development. When I am not teaching or learning, I enjoy traveling with friends and family, going camping, eating, and going for walks and runs! I also enjoy bowling and playing wii sports.
