Francesca graduated from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Education and from Saint Joseph’s University with a Master of Science degree in Education. In 2005, she started her career teaching ninth grade English at Washington Township High School and did so for eight years. Meanwhile, she also taught English as a Second Language (ESL) at night for many years at Rowan College at Burlington County. Starting in 2015, she began teaching post-secondary ESL and English courses at Wilmington University, along with teaching in the Intensive ESL program at Rowan University in spring of 2022.  During this semester, she realized how much she hoped to continue her career working at Rowan University.
