I'm a 24-year-old Minnesota native who graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison with a Journalism BA. I then spent a year working for peanuts at an education non-profit in DC as an Americorps*VISTA (Volunteer in Service to America). I worked closely with several low-income public schools, and that experience inspired me to want to teach in one. I created this blog to chronicle my first year as a New York City Public School teacher and as a Teach for America corps member.
I just spent a fantastic weekend with an incredibly charming and devilishly good-looking guy who was kind enough to double as my math tutor for a few hours to help me prepare for my exams.
Sinead has been insanely helpful with offering TFA insights and other valuable advice.
My family has stopped asking, “Now, why would ya wanna go and do a thing like that?” re: moving to and teaching in NYC, and they’ve started to be extremely supportive and excited for me.
My friend from work, Josh, who is a TFA alum, does a giddy, Pillsbury doughboy-like move every time he talks to me about my upcoming training and teaching.
