Stephine Cielusniak: Stephine Cielusniak is a High School English teacher at Wayne Valley High School in New Jersey. She holds a master’s degree in English and a license in both Elementary and Secondary Education, one as Supervisor and one to teach Montessori. She attended William Paterson University where her concentrations were Literature/English. “Teaching is considered a good career choice because it offers the opportunity to directly impact young minds, contribute to society by shaping future generations, provides a sense of personal fulfillment through student growth, and often comes with benefits like flexible schedules, summer breaks, and job security; allowing for a good work-life balance while making a positive difference in the community.” Her advice to girls thinking about education is that teaching is a great career, especially for women seeking job security, flexible schedules and the ability to make a significant impact on students’ lives. Teaching offers opportunities for creativity, continuous learning, and a strong sense of community involvement which can be especially beneficial for women who also want to balance familial responsibilities.  Feel free to contact Stephine Cielusniak: scielusniak@gmail.com 

Marie Jankowski : Marie Jankowski is a high school math teacher at Walter Panas HS in Westchester NY. At SUNY Albany she majored in Mathematics and minored in Education. Mrs. Jankowski then got her masters in mathematics at Lehman College. According to Mrs. Jankowski, being a high school teacher is rewarding. Since many students struggle with math, building confidence and helping to facilitate learning is her favorite part of her job. “follow your passion and don’t be afraid to change your path.  I started college wanting to be an engineer or physicist, but after a year I wasn’t interested in the courses.  So I quickly changed my path, made up a few classes and graduated on time.  Helping students who just don’t understand the math is the best” If you want to know more feel free to reach out to Marie Jankowski, Mjankowski@lakelandschools.org
