Hi, everyone! My name is Jillian Dougherty, and I am so excited to be part of the MaST community!

I graduated from The College of New Jersey in 2023 with a degree in Early Childhood Education and Psychology. This is my fourth year teaching and my first year at MaST. I am passionate about creating a positive, welcoming classroom where every student feels supported, valued, and excited to learn.

When I’m not in the classroom, I enjoy reading, shopping, and spending time with my friends and family. I also have a German Shepherd named Ellie, who keeps me busy! One of my favorite things to do is spend time at the beach, especially with the people I love.

I’m looking forward to getting to know my students and families and making this a wonderful year of learning, growth, and new experiences!

I’m so happy you’re here, and I can’t wait for a great year together!
