Mary Margaret Mahoney-Ferster
Mary Margaret Mahoney-Ferster, Ph. D. – As a wife and mother, a sibling, a family member and a friend; play, policy, and practice have been the foundation of a 30 plus year career in Early Care and Education. Earning a bachelor's and Master of Science at Bloomsburg University of PA, and a Ph. D. in Curriculum and Instruction at the Pennsylvania State University offered her a framework for teaching experiences in classrooms throughout the lifespan. Ongoing engagement and advocacy with community organizations, along with research and alliances through TASP and NAEYC Play Policy and Practice Forum provided her the means to serve society. Recently welcomed at Cabrini University as an Assistant Professor, she is looking forward to new collaborations while helping prepare the next cadre of educators.
