About+Ms.+Dineen

Hello! My name is Vanessa Dineen and this will be my third year teaching 4th grade on the Hongqiao campus. I am from the smallest of the 5 0 states. Rhode Island is located in the northeast, not far from Boston and New York. I was adopted at 2.5 months and grew up among teachers (mom, step-dad, aunts, uncles and cousins are all teachers). I am a huge Ne!w York Yankees fan, despite my Red Sox upbringing, and Pittsburgh Steelers fan. Nothing is better than American football in the winter

I attended Queens Universi ty of Charlotte in North Carolina for both my Bachelor's Degree in History and teacher certification. I am currently taking classes through SUNY-Buffalo to earn my Master's Degree in Education.

I taught in both North Carolina and Rhode Island before moving overseas. My first overseas teaching job was in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Teaching overseas allows me to combine two of my passions in life- teaching and traveling.

I am excited to continue my teaching career at SCIS and am looking forward to more exploration of China and other parts of Asia.
