Hi! My name is Emily.
I am teacher, artist, and teaching artist, born and raised in Chicago's suburban sprawl.
I love to draw, paint,
travel, and take photos. I also love kids, kid art, and teaching kids
art. I like cooking and eating delicious things, and listening to
audiobooks while I run. I love listening to stories and telling my own.
And I read entirely too much.
After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, I put off moving
home and, instead, packed my bags and moved over the ocean to a suburb
in South Korea. I spent one year living and teaching and exploring my
way through life on the peninsula, followed by 3 months of travel across South East Asia. It was pretty rad.
After a few months at home, during which I've been
spending as much time with my friends and fam (and consuming as much
peanut butter, cheese, and Diet Coke) as possible, I will be setting off
on an adventure of a very different nature. I will be participating in
the American Jewish World Service Volunteer Corps,
working in India. I look forward to sharing more details as to the
specifics of my placements as well as my life in India here.
