Mrs. Nikki O'Farrill

Bio:
Graduated from a terrific school system in a small town, and attended Pace University, NYC for both my BA in Psychology and MS in Educational Technology. Currently I live in Hudson County.

Hometown:
Upstate New York,

I like working at the Academy because…
…of the values that are instilled in the students. Additionally enjoyable is that several co-workers are Yankee fans like my family.

Teaching philosophy:
I believe in treating every child in the manner in which I want teachers to treat my own child, with respect and a sense of responsibility. I want them to enter the classroom with the mindset that you will work your hardest on everything you do.

Fun fact:
There are so many…I love Star Wars and ladybugs. I am a fun enthusiastic person, get to know me and I am sure we can come up with many stories together.

When I’m not at the Academy, you’ll most likely find me:
Spending time with my son. We love to travel, be outside and watch TV. I enjoy watching him grow and walk his own path. I am so blessed to be there for him and my husband.

Ask me about:
ME! I love to share my life and adventures, it is my belief you learn through shared experiences. Or ask me about my son, I love to talk about him.

Personal motto:
“A lot of people resist transition and therefore never allow themselves to enjoy who they are. Embrace the change, no matter what it is; once you do, you can learn about the new world you’re in and take advantage of it.” Nikki Giovanni
