An Introduction

Bernadette Chiccino was born in Hartford, Connecticut, but she has lived in New Hampshire for most of her life. Her love of literature and philosophy led her to Saint Anselm College and a degree in Liberal Studies in the Great Books with a minor in Classics. She then went on to receive a Master’s degree in Elementary Education from UNH. In addition, she has traveled to Italy on multiple occasions for study, leisure, and to visit family. Bernadette taught children ages 9-13 in both public and private school settings before making the decision to stay at home for several years to care for her sons.
