Born and raised in Huntington, Leigh Candalino longed for more excitement from this world.   Steeped in the mythology of The X-Files and Harry Potter, she has received a Bachelors degree in the Dark Arts of Mathematics and Monsters of the Week from St. Joseph's College as well as a Masters degree in Educational Technology (for non-wizards) and the Black Oil from Teachers College, Columbia University.  After teaching for the last several years at an Azkaban satellite campus in Brooklyn, Ms. Candalino is excited to teach Math at Herricks High to Muggles and Wizards alike.
