My name is Miss Marisa Tasky! I am a current first grade teacher at a private Catholic school, Our Lady of Sorrows, in Farmington Hills, MI. I currently live in Clawson, MI. I grew up in Farmington Hills, MI, and attended elementary and middle school at Our Lady of Sorrows School. Later, I attended Mercy High School in Farmington Hills. After, I moved to East Lansing, MI, where I attended Michigan State University, and I received my bachelor of Arts in Education. Currently, I am working on my Masters of Arts in Education (MAED) from Michigan State University. Go Green!
My hobbies include reading, kayaking, travelling, cross-stitching, skiing, golfing, playing softball, and enjoying life with friends and family. I am still a huge fan of Michigan State sports, particularly men's basketball and football, and I enjoy grabbing drinks with family and friends to watch every game! I also enjoy spending my summers with my family up north in a small town called Onekama, MI. During the school year, I tutor students during after school hours.
I have been lucky enough to work alongside some of my best friends - ones I have met on the job and ones I have known prior to my job. My current school provides 8th graders a chance to go to Washington D.C. during their final days of middle school. One of my friends, who is an amazing 8th grade history teacher, organized this trip. I was able to experience this trip for the first time since I was a student, alongside some of the greatest coworkers in May 2022!
Dear Potential Employer:
I have dreamed of becoming an Elementary or Middle school teacher since I was a young child. Over the past few years I have worked extremely hard enhancing and reflecting on my teaching skills. This hard work has helped me become an exceptional candidate for this job.
I am certified through the Michigan Department of Education to teach all core subjects K-5 and integrated science 6-8. My teaching experience includes two years as a first grade teacher at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School in Farmington Hills, MI.

I recently completed my Master of Arts in Education, with a focus in literacy education, through Michigan State University.
These opportunities have helped me become a versatile, capable, and understanding educator. I believe I am prepared to fulfill any requirements I am asked of and go above and beyond those requirements. My unique experiences will allow me to collaborate with staff, students, parents, and any other associates of your school in a professional manner which will benefit everyone.
