In her role as Director, Curriculum, Emma oversees the Commonwealth Corp program, supervises our incoming curriculum team members, develops professional learning opportunities, participates in various matrix teams and is the internal point person for the curriculum side of the C&I team.
Emma grew up on the Jersey Shore and recently moved to Boston from the Bronx, where she taught creative writing, English, and law at Herbert H. Lehman High School. While teaching her juniors and seniors, Emma realized the importance of college and career advising in helping students prepare for their futures beyond high school, which prompted her to switch career paths. She has a Master of Arts in Teaching from Relay Graduate School of Education and a Bachelor’s degree in sociology and English from Cornell University. Outside of work, she enjoys reading a lot of books at once, writing really bad novels every November during National Novel Writing Month, lifting weights, and running races for which she is perpetually underprepared.
