Mrs. Florian is Law’s new science teacher.

Florian graduated from UConn with a Bachelor’s degree in Allied Human Sciences and a  minor in Psychology. She then studied abroad in Australia for six months at Macquarie University.

She got her first Master’s degree in the Art of Teaching at Tampa University and her second Masters’ in Building Leadership and Administration at Mercy College.

Florian’s teaching experience is extensive. She taught AP Biology in Tampa, Florida. Then, she moved to Rhode Island and taught Physics, Biology, and Chemistry at Immaculate Conception Academy, an all-girls Catholic boarding school.

After that, she came back to Connecticut and started teaching at Greenwich High School and their alternative school. She also coached soccer and lacrosse there. Afterward, she moved to Southington and started teaching at The Academy in Milford.

Florian then had three children in three years and came to Law after her maternity leave was over.

“I haven’t been in the classroom in two years because of the pandemic and having kids so I am ready to get back to interacting with peers and students,” Florian said.

Outside of school, Florian is also a very adventurous person. She has traveled a lot. She also enjoys scuba diving, skydiving, skydiving, bungee jumping, hiking, camping, and much more. In her free time, she enjoys cooking and creating art. She is also a very sporty person, having played soccer, lacrosse, and volleyball.

She is so excited to be teaching now that COVID-19 restrictions have lessened.

“The students so far seem like a great bunch too,” Florian said. “It is nice to see more socializing and normalcy after a pandemic.”
