Her extensive teaching and higher education experience include various roles working with faculty, professional staff and administrators, and serving students through several academic support capacities at Marquette University, Rider University, SUNY College at Plattsburg, and Northampton Community College. She has even held an adjunct instructor position at BCC, teaching both history and composition.

Bennett-Bealer has been an active member of numerous professional associations.

Currently, she serves as President-Elect for the College Reading & Learning Association (CRLA), PA/NJ Chapter and holds the distinction of being one of the few CRLA reviewers for the International Tutor Training Program Certification (ITTPC).

“I’m committed to BCC, as well as the core values and mission of community colleges,” Bennett- Bealer said. “I’m looking forward to working with students, providing academic support, and collaborating with the faculty to further strengthen our programs and reputation for excellence. It’s not only what they teach that is important, it’s how they reach students with what they are teaching that matters.”

Bennett-Bealer currently resides in Evesham Township with her family.
