Anita Gildea

Anita Gildea has worked in the education industry for 20+ years as a teacher, educational consultant, representative, sales manager and marketing director.

Anita began her career in educational publishing in 1987 with D.C. Heath and remained on board when the company was purchased by McDougal Littell/Houghton Mifflin in 1995.  Currently she serves as the Director of Field Marketing for Holt McDougal, a Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company, ensuring customer input into the products and services developed by the leading publisher in education today.  She has been instrumental in providing the lesson structure and rubric for the current offerings as well as providing new ideas for future instructional and learning opportunities.

Holding a BA in English from St. Bonaventure University, Anita is passionate about writing and the language arts.  Her involvement in BlueNose stems from a personal nature and her experiences working with educators across the country as they struggle to motivate students in the act of writing.

As a mother of both a teen and a preteen, Anita also has a keen interest in motivating “the digital native” and tapping into the interests of all young people, and enjoys the enthusiasm and excitement BlueNose generates among teachers and students alike!
