Jessie Findora is a high school English teacher. She earned her BA in
English from Gettysburg College and her teaching certificates at West
Chester University before starting her first job at Coatesville Area
Senior High. While there, she worked with struggling readers, so she
went back to school for her MEd and reading specialist certification.
She eventually became a gifted case manager, so she earned her MA in
Educational Psychology with a concentration in giftedness, creativity,
and talent development from the University of Connecticut. After that,
she began teaching at Unionville High School (where she currently
works), had a son, and just recently finished her PhD in teaching,
learning, and technology. Her dissertation examined the impact of
interracial literary fiction on the ethnocultural empathy of White high
school students. Working at Unionville made Jessie want to dive back
into literary analysis, so she am excited to pursue that end by taking
these classes at Villanova, where her father earned his MA (many) years
ago. In her free time, Jessie likes to ride horses, read, and spend time
with friends and family. She looks forward to getting to know everyone
and discussing great literature!
