Hello! My name is Katie Fennessey, throughout the school year I am a middle school math teacher but during the summer I am a Program Leader! This is my first year with CIEE, traveling to Monteverde, Costa Rica for Women in STEM. I am passionate about promoting women in STEM and excited to explore this in Costa Rica this year.
