About Jen Mazzocco

I’ve devoted my career to public service as an elected official, public school teacher, union leader, and community organizer. I live in Dormont with my husband and two daughters. I attended the University of Pittsburgh for both my undergraduate degree and a Master of Arts in Teaching.

I’ve taught for 15 years at Allderdice High School, where I lead in multiple capacities including as President of the Allderice Staff Association, coach of the Debate team, and National Honor Society Sponsor.

I am an active member of my union, the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers, where I’ve been a building representative, led their Political Action Committee from 2018 until 2025, and currently serve as a Secondary Schools Representative on the Executive Board.
