I am very excited to be teaching ELA to 7th and 8th grade at Saint Mary’s School this year.  I have a bachelor's degree in psychology from Trinity College, CT, and a master's degree in elementary education from Sacred Heart University, CT.  I also have an advanced certificate in literacy studies from Hofstra University and have taught English language arts for the past fourteen years.  I am so pleased to be able to bring my passion for reading and writing to the ELA classroom this year.
