Claudia DeSantis, Latin

Q: What made you come to Hackley?

A: I grew up in New York City and had been living in Baltimore for a long time, so I wanted to get closer to my family of origin to be of more help to them as they get older.

Q: What’s been your favorite part about teaching Hackley students in particular?

A: They are very, very polite and friendly. Even if they don’t know me, or have me in class, they go out of their way to be friendly.

Q: What made you want to become a teacher?

A: Teachers that I had in the past. I had some really, really excellent teachers and they had a huge effect on me, and I found them inspiring, and I’d like to be that kind of teacher for my students.
