I have been teaching for over 11 years. I graduated with a degree in Deaf and Hard of Hearing Education and Birth through Kindergarten. I began my teaching career as a Special Education Teacher in PreK, then K, then 1st-5th. I completed my Masters Program in Early Childhood Education. I am currently working on my National Boards Certificate.

 

 

I graduated from Frostburg State University with my Bachelor’s in Early Childhood/Elementary Education and received my Master’s degree from Western Governors University in Curriculum and Instruction. I am currently in my 4th year teaching, all of which have been in Pre-K at Broad Ford Elementary. I enjoy spending my free time with my husband and daughter and am excited to have another little one on the way.

 

 

My name is Nicole Vena and I am currently in my third year teaching at Broad Ford, all which have been in Pre-K. I previously worked with children from 18 to 36 months in an Early Head Start program for five years. I am certified in Early Childhood and Elementary Education with a bachelor's degree from Frostburg State University. I am currently pursuing my Master's program in Early Childhood Studies. I currently live in Western Pennsylvania with my boyfriend, dogs, and cats. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, traveling, and reading, however my biggest passion is being able to teach Broad Ford's littles bobcats!
