My name is Laura Lacker and I was born and raised within Rockland County, New York. I will graduate from St. Thomas Aquinas College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Childhood and Special Education in May of 2025. By the spring of 2026 I expect to have a Master of Science degree in Teaching Literacy from St. Thomas Aquinas College. After completion of my masters, my goal for further education is to attain a post masters certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).

My student teaching experiences occurred in two different districts. From January 21 to March 14, I was in a general education second grade classroom within the East Ramapo School District. From March 17 to May 2, I was within a sixth grade special eduction classroom within the Clarkstown Central School District.
