Sankalpa Bajpai is a Personalized Education Coach (PEC) and Course Instructor (CI) at Christa McAuliffe Academy School of Arts and Sciences (CMASAS). She has a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies from Slippery Rock University, PA and a double master’s degree in Biology and Environmental Science & Management from Duquesne University, PA. She has been online teaching since 2017 and is enjoying every bit of it! The opportunities for personal interaction with students at CMASAS and the ability to guide each student as they “walk their own high school path” is rewarding and meaningful for her. Outside of school, she is energized by working out, cooking, visiting local restaurants, and playing with her two bunnies! While growing up, Sankalpa lived in six different countries, but she has been living in the US for almost 30 years now. She calls Virginia home and lives in the northern part of the state with her husband and two daughters.
