Hi, my name is Ms. Laura Mainiero! I am a Lehigh Valley native and a graduate of IUP ('08) and Drexel ('17). This is my 16th year teaching. I previously taught 9th-10th grade English and journalism in Allentown. I began teaching 10th-grade English and theatre at Liberty in 2015.

In addition to my love for reading and writing, I have a passion for traveling. So far, I have visited Australia, Vietnam, Japan, Iceland, China (where I taught at a summer camp), Ireland, England, Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Vatican City, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. I am going to Paris this March!

One of my other loves is my twelve-year-old dachshund-yorkie named Neville Longbottom.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” -Mark Twain

I am hoping to pass on a love of literature and writing. I plan to challenge my students to think critically and creatively, and to develop skills that will prepare my students not only for the Keystone Exams, but to become better thinkers and learners.
