2ND GRADE TEACHER
Kalamazoo College, BA
What year did you start at Emerson?
2020
Why did you want to work at Emerson?
When I first worked at Emerson school, it was because I found a job working in the after care program to help me save up, move out to New York City, and work in publishing. I made it out there and found that, although I was right where I’d wanted to be, I couldn’t stop thinking about my experiences with the kids and teachers at Emerson school. I started taking my vacation days to go back and teach summer camps, then decided I wanted to become an educator. In short, Emerson’s unique environment was the place I was meant to be and the curious, hilarious, compassionate students here are the reason I wanted to teach.
