Annmarie joins ITLC/TWC with fifteen years of experience in education and communications. She worked as an English Language Arts educator in Massachusetts public schools, where she developed a culturally aware curriculum that employed engaging teaching methods to reach diverse student populations. Her forte was analyzing effective storytelling, which she explored in literature and film in the classroom and on the stage in the theater program she directed. Before that, Annmarie taught writing classes to first-year college students at a community college and state university in the Hudson Valley.
Prior to her work in education, Annmarie worked at various media organizations and as a freelance writer, writing articles profiling artists and community members. At ITLC/TWC, Annmarie is excited to tell stories highlighting the inspiring journeys of transit workers and their commitment to the communities they serve. She also looks forward to using her teaching, curricular, and writing skills to support transit career pipeline programs.
Outside of work, Annmarie loves attending DC rock shows, taking art and language classes, and leading her writing group, which she hopes will help her in her mission to finish a novel.
