Charmayne Palomba

After graduating from a small liberal arts college with a degree in English, Charmayne drove 1,286 miles to Denton, Texas — a far cry from her native New Jersey — to pursue a Master's degree in Environmental Philosophy. With years of tutoring experience under her belt, she had her first opportunity to teach in a classroom setting as a Teaching Assistant for "Introduction to Logic" — a haven for those seeking refuge from the University's math requirement. While she had never taken a class in logic (and occasionally neglected to employ it in her everyday life), the experience left her with a new-found affinity for logic and a genuine love of teaching. She is thrilled to have the chance to combine the two as an LSAT teacher for Manhattan LSAT.

After a year in Texas, the siren call of New Jersey summoned her home (or maybe it was the tornado sirens that drove her out) and she returned to live in Brooklyn with her husband. Her "day job" at an environmental foundation has only strengthened her love of nature and concern for its protection. Having decided to attend law school, she tackled the LSAT and earned a 99th percentile score. Despite herself, she found that getting to know the test turned out to be a fun challenge, and looks forward to helping her students learn-and hopefully learn to love-the LSAT's finicky ways.

In her free time, you'll find her with her nose in 19th century literature, hiking and cultivating her new bird watching hobby, learning to fly (in a plane, mind you), or playing the flute. In fall 2012, Charmayne will begin law school at New York University, where she plans to focus on environmental and land use law.
