This year, Pingry welcomes Ms. Bailey Farrell, who will be teaching Chemistry I and Chemistry II. Ms. Farrell received her B.S. degree in Chemistry from Stanford University and her Master’s in Teaching from Fordham University. She has also participated in Teach for America at a Bronx charter school for three years, and taught chemistry at the Ransom Everglades School in Miami. Most recently, she worked for the Educational Testing Service (ETS), where she helped develop the AP Chemistry exam.
When asked about what she looks forward to at Pingry, Ms. Farrell said she is excited about the opportunities for growth that the school provides. She explained, “In the few short months I’ve been here, I’ve already worked on new ways of teaching old concepts, incorporated new technology, and tended to bees with Ms. Tandon––it’s incredible. I love the feeling of getting to explore new things in my job, and Pingry makes that possible.” Ms. Farrell also remarked how the consistent level of dedication from both her colleagues and her students creates an energy at Pingry, and that, in turn, encourages her to try her best.
The Pingry community is extremely excited to have Ms. Farrell this year, and we’re excited to see what the future holds for her. Welcome to Pingry, Ms. Farrell!
