“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow.”
– Kurt Vonnegut
In 2024, Dominique Agri joined Poly’s English Department as a Middle and Upper School English teacher. For several years, Dominique worked with nonprofit organizations whose missions include the education and advancement of marginalized communities. She also worked as a private chef and caterer in the NYC area for over a decade.

Dominique is a creative writer as well as a contributor to non-fiction work, and was published in an anthology titled, Jewish Women in Comics in 2022. In her spare time, Dominique enjoys scuba diving, traveling, and recipe-testing new dishes. She lives in Brooklyn with her family.
