Emily was born and raised in St. Joseph County. Her education began at Mary Frank Elementary School in Granger. She then attended the best middle school in the area, Schmucker Middle School, and graduated from Penn High School in 1998. After graduating she began her studies at Purdue University.
In 2003, Emily moved to Spring Hill, Florida and worked in various administrative assistant/inventory positions before pursuing a teaching career. Though she had not studied education, she came from a family of educators and felt education was where she belonged. In 2005 she participated in Florida’s Alternative Certification Program and began her teaching career at West Hernando Middle School in Brooksville, FL. She taught 7th grade math and math remediation in Florida for five years.
In the fall of 2010, she returned to Indiana with her beautiful daughter, Kirsten, and began teaching at Pierre Moran Middle School in Elkhart. There she taught 7th grade math and began a new curriculum for 8th grade students called Business/Marketing and Youth Philanthropy. In August of this year she was blessed with a position teaching Computers/Business in her favorite corporation (PHM of course).
Emily has a wide variety of interests from antique shopping to deer hunting. She loves to ride horses, make bead jewelry, cook and go to amusement parks. However, her favorite thing to do is spend time at Jean Klock Park on Lake Michigan searching for indian beads with Kirsten. Those wonderful summer days always end with a special trip to Dairy Queen for a mother and daughter afternoon ice cream treat.
