Trish Liguori

To Trish Liguori it seems like her lot in life was always to be surrounded by English Language Learners, though it took her a while to realize it! Ms. Liguori studied Sociology and Theatre at Clemson University in South Carolina, not quite sure what she wanted to do besides work directly with people. A study abroad in South Africa and various educational internships with ELLs led her to join Teach for America. They sent her to Rhode Island where she fell in love with teaching and, more specifically, guiding english language learners in their pursuits. Now that she has completed her Master's in ESL Education at Brown University as well as her 6th year in Providence Public Schools, she's ready to take on some new adventures. The opportunity to join LPS Oakland and create a new program for its emerging bilinguals seemed like the perfect next step. In her free time she loves to snowboard, hike, experience theatre, and generally explore.
