First year high school social studies teacher leading sections of African and Asian Civilizations and Cultures, Economics, and Personal finance. I look to bring a high level of enthusiasm and clarity to all of my classes. As an alumni of the Rutgers Graduate School of Education, I feel I am equipped with a wide array of skills and resources to help meet individual learning needs. Possessing a bachelor's degree in economics, and a masters in social studies education, I have a diverse background in the social studies disciplines. Outside of the classroom, I am an avid weightlifter, football fan, and music listener. 

I am easily reached via email (mlaquaglia@tenafly.k12.nj.us) and am extremely excited about getting to know all of my students and their families.
