Christina DeDona
(The University at Albany)
Instructional Design Specialist

Christina graduated with a M.S. in Curriculum Design and Instructional Technology from The University at Albany in December 2021. While completing her Master’s program last year, Christina was working as an elementary school leave replacement teacher, where she was involved with, and learned a great deal about, various recent teaching methods and online learning.

Christina has a dual B.S. from Syracuse University in Inclusive Elementary and Special Education with a minor in Anthropology and graduated in the spring of 2020. She has a love for learning and is passionate about inclusion for all. Having been exposed to all kinds of teaching and curriculum by being in multiple school districts in her home county of Westchester, and through her Master’s program and Bachelor’s program, she is eager to bring her knowledge of online learning and curriculum design to Thayer Leadership.

In her free time, Christina enjoys going for walks with her dog, reading, and cooking for her friends and family.
