About Me

Emma: I am currently a 1st & 2nd grade teacher in Boston. I am a graduate of Mount Holyoke College where I studied Critical Social Thought and Early-Childhood Education. I recently received my Masters in Education through the Boston Teacher Residency Program. I am interested in inclusive education practices, the relationship between a sibling with a disability and a sibling without a disability, and immigration policies.
