Tania Riccoboni has been teaching art in the middle schools of North Rockland CSD for 15 years, and loves the blend of innocence and snark that her students provide as she shows them that yes they CAN draw. She graduated from SUNY New Paltz with a major in Art Education (concentration in photography) and a minor in Italian. She lived in Queens until her family moved just outside of the city when she turned 13. She has a bulldog named Alba that she loves very much, and loves to travel, dance, hike, read, and spend time with friends and family.

Her research in the 2018 US-Taiwan Teacher Fellows Program focused on arts in Taiwan.
