I've been teaching for 18 yrs.  I graduated from Edinboro University of Pa with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education.  I also have an AIG certificate from UNC - Charlotte.  In my free time, I enjoy reading, gaming, traveling, deer hunting, and I'm a huge sports fan.  My favorite teams include, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Yankees, and the Boston Celtics.  I love being a Wendell Eagle and love working with the great students at WMES!

My name is Marcilyn Jean-Sephestine, I am originally from the island of Jamaica where I graduated from Shortwood Teachers’ College with a four-year teaching degree. I taught for six years there before migrating to North Carolina on an international Teaching program for the past 20 years. I’m a graduate of Nova Southeastern University with a Masters in Elementary Math and a master’s degree in School Administration from UNC Chapel Hill.

During my free time I like visiting with family in Jamaica, going to the beach and eating mangoes. I have been married for 18 years and have a 13-year-old son!!

I believe students grow at different rates and come with diverse life experiences, it is essential to approach them with patience and the wisdom to adapt instruction to meet their individual needs.
