Ms. Emily was born and raised just outside of Austin in the Texas Hill Country, and she has seen a lot of growth in the area. As a child, she was home-schooled, developing a deep love of self-initiated learning. She also visited the Community Montessori School in Georgetown, Texas every summer with then-director Rebecca Lowe, her best friend's mother. As a young adult, she traveled to many U.S. cities and worked as an advocate for environmental non-profit organizations, campaigning for local, state, and national initiatives such as Zero Waste. She has lived in several states, including California, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Utah.
While pursuing her Bachelor's degree in San Francisco, California, she began volunteering in Early Childhood Education with at-risk youth and realized that the best use of her efforts to make the world a better place were through education. After taking a break to start her own family, she obtained her B.A. in Social Sciences with a concentration in education, then her Montessori Primary certificate through North America Montessori Training Center. Ms. Emily has worked under the guidance of experienced Montessorians in the Austin area and has gained insights into other methods of Montessori training such as AMI and AMS. She worked in well-established Montessori schools in the area before meeting Candice Lin in 2016 and joining under LMIS' former name, 'Jordan Montessori.'
Ms. Emily is an amateur athlete and is well-connected in the cycling community. She also loves other outdoor activities such as hiking and swimming, as well as watching intriguing movies and television series. She loves to read about social science and health-related topics. Her family includes one daughter, now 16, and two beautiful cats.
