Emma recently graduated from Drake University, where she studied international relations, economics, and French. One of her most cherished college memories is volunteering at her university’s Adult Literacy Center, where she taught English to adult learners. Now, she is excited to bring her passions for education and intercultural engagement to her host community.

Emma previously lived in Indonesia for four years, so, in addition to getting back in the classroom, she looks forward to revisiting her childhood home.

She will be teaching at SMAN 1 Temanggung in Central Java.
