Reen was born in Germany and moved with her family to the United States during the 1960's where she began her journey towards a long and distinguished career in the field of education. Reen received her BS in chemistry from Tufts University in 1977 and went on to receive her master's in natural science from Worcester Polytechnical Institute in 1988. She never stopped learning, pursuing studies in physics, biotechnology and chemistry. A gifted teacher and mentor, Reen taught advanced placement chemistry at Brookline and Westwood High Schools for nearly three decades. In addition, she worked with NOVA and the College Board, was published and taught graduate students in MIT's education program. Her students were her greatest joy and legacy.
