Jennifer Catarine graduated from SUNY Empire State College NY in 2007 with a Bachelors
Degree in Business Management and Economics. Since then, Jennifer completed graduate
studies at New Jersey City University with a Masters in Education in 2017, and is certified in
grades K-6 in the state of NJ. She started teaching at OLC school in October of 2017, and is
in her 6th year teaching Language Arts and Social Studies to 6th and 8th grade students. Her
philosophy of teaching is simple. Every student can learn – and given the right environment,
they can both learn and thrive. The classroom has to be a safe place for every student to
grow. Her hope is to pass on her passion for reading and writing to all of her students.
