Ms. Marino's Bio

Ms. Marino was born in Danbury, CT. Each of her four siblings was born in a different state; her youngest brother was born in Iowa, where Ms. Marino attended elementary school. When she was 11 years old, her family moved to Long Island to be closer to family. She played many sports growing up, including gymnastics, soccer, volleyball, and lacrosse. These activities helped keep her physically active while she challenged herself academically. In high school, she participated in Varsity Volleyball and was a member of Girls Leaders Corp, Math, Spanish, and National Honor Societies. Through these various clubs and activities, Ms. Marino realized her passion for helping others learn both academic and athletic skills.

 

Ms. Marino attended Binghamton University, where she received a B.S. in Mathematical Sciences. While there, she tutored student-athletes in college level class courses, including Calc 1 and Differential Equations. She went on to Stony Brook University as part of the MAT Mathematics: Secondary Education program. It was through the connections she made there that she ended up teaching at Success Academy Charter Schools for 6 years. She now has experience teaching 6th-grade to 12th-grade math classes. She currently teaches 9th Grade Algebra I and 12th Grade AP Calculus.

 

Outside of school, Ms. Marino continues to have a variety of interests that challenge both her mind and body. In the past few years, she has participated in VOLO soccer teams and has completed over 500 Orange Theory Classes. She enjoys singing and was an alto in the Gotham City Music Collective choir. She has recently been accepted into Math for America, a four-year fellowship for teachers that encourages collaboration, learning, and leadership. Pokemon Go is played on her way to and from school, and the subway ride is spent reading whatever she most recently downloaded from Kindle Unlimited. 

 

Ms. Marino went into teaching wanting to help support students with their journey, both through high school and into adulthood. She sets high expectations for her students, just as she does for herself. Communication is key!
