Nadia Maczaj earned a BA in History/French from Rutgers College in 1986.
After stumbling into archaeological fieldwork in Europe then discovering
that one could actually be employed as an archaeologist in New Jersey, she
spent almost ten years getting paid to play in the dirt and to explore old
things. Along the way, she completed a Masters Degree at Hunter College
in Anthropology/ Archaeology, married Oleh, raised three beautiful
children, partnered on the family farm, and worked a myriad of odd jobs.
Nadia has been teaching at STCA since 2014, after home-schooling her own
three. Their youngest, Julianna, graduated STCA in 2019. Nadia continues to
grow in her faith and to re-discover her love of history and geography along
with her students. With Oleh’s recent retirement from their farm, and a
grandbaby to play with, they are both excited about new adventures.
