Greetings! My name is Katie Sweeting and I’ve been an English professor at Hudson County Community College since 2006. I teach classes such as Composition 1, Speech, World and British Literature, and the Advanced English Seminar. I grew up in sunny Southern California and earned a Bachelor's in Psychology at California State University Northridge - where my dad was a professor. A few decades later, I earned a master’s degree in English at Queens College/CUNY.

In the spring semester of 2022 I was awarded a Fulbright-Nehru grant and lived in India for 3 months, which deepened my appreciation of Indian culture. I taught Creative Writing and Research Methodology to bachelor's and master’s degree students.

I love to read and am a member of JASNA (The Jane Austen Society of North America). I am also a writer, and my historical novel Remnant set in the 18th and 19th centuries was published in April 2024.

I am married with three young adult sons, a daughter-in-law, a grandson, and a cat. We live here in Jersey City.
