McAuley Learning Center Teachermruizchristtheteacher.orgHello! My name is Marlena Ruiz and I am excited to start my second year with CTTCS as a MLC Teacher. A few things about me, I am proud wife and mom to four amazing kids, along with two lovable dogs who keep life interesting! I’m originally from New York and a lifelong Yankees and Jets fan.I already know…..I’ve stuck with the Jets through the good, the bad, and the many “maybe next year” seasons. Being a Jets fan is definitely a character-building experience! When I’m not spending time with my family, I enjoy the outdoors, cooking, and cheering on my favorite teams. I have been a teacher for over six years and specialize in middle school math and helping students develop social-emotional skills. I will complete my Master’s in Elementary and Secondary School Counseling in December. I’m passionate about supporting students who may feel overlooked or are searching for their purpose. I’m excited to be part of the CTTCS community and look forward to helping students grow academically, personally, and emotionally.
