New Teachers at Ambrit 2008-2009

 
 
Maria Cristina Muir
My name is Maria Cristina Muir and I was born in Rome.  I was raised in a bilingual home and am fluent in Italian and English.  I was very fortunate to have been raised in various countries throughout the world, and have also worked in a number of countries including Hong Kong, Singapore, London, and New York to name a few.  I attended Boston University for my undergraduate studies and Teachers College, Columbia University for my graduate studies where I studied Bilingual/Bicultural Education K-6.   
I have always had a passion for basketball and will take up any opportunity to play a pick-up game!! So yes, that's an open invitation to everyone and anyone!  I also have a passion for mountain climbing, hiking and rock climbing.  In July 2005, I successfully reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro!!   
I very much look forward to teaching at Ambrit and am excited to be teaching the 5th grade.  I also look forward to meeting all of my future colleagues, students and their families, and to embarking on this new and exciting adventure of living in Rome! 
 
Lisa Nowak
I am a 27 year old Maine native. After growing up of the coast, I went to Wheaton College in Massachusetts for my undergraduate where I studied Spanish, Psychology and Education and played on the school Rugby team. I am completing my Master's Degree in Spanish this summer at Middlebury College in Vermont. I have taught Spanish for five years, 2 in public school and 3 in private school here in the States. I have coached many seasons of Soccer, Wrestling and Track & Field for both male and female teams. My favorite activities include singing, playing the guitar, playing tennis, traveling, reading and studying language. I look forward to becoming part of the Ambrit community!
 
Julie Sabatucci
My name is Julie Sabatucci.  I was born in Canada in a city called Hamilton not far from Toronto. After teacher's college, I decided to travel to Italy, where I started working in an International School in Rome.  I have been teaching for 20 years and really enjoy it.  I believe to teach is to touch a life forever!
I am ready for a new challenge and I'm looking forward to meeting the students, families and staff members at Ambrit.  See you in September.
 

Richard Hester
I have been a teacher for over 10 years and have taught in schools in the U.K. and in South Asia. When I am not teaching I like to keep fit and enjoy running and playing many sports. I am looking forward very much to teaching at and being part of the Ambrit community.
