Hi! I'm Emilie. I teach 6th grade CA (Communication Arts aka ELA) in the Bronx at CIS 303: The Leadership and Community Service Academy. I live in Hell('s Kitchen) which I pretty much love; however, I am originally from Clinton, South Carolina. Other than teaching and hanging out with 11 year-olds, I love broadway, This American Life and reading. I'm especially interested in LGBT YA literature (acronym, overload?). A super, super cool thing that happened to me this past year: I auditioned to be on Broadway.com's "Word of Mouth" panel. (Basically, to be a Broadway reviewer for the leading Broadway website.) Guess what? I was called back for a second interview and screen test in their studios. And a week after that, I was offered the job. So, I am officially a Broadway critic. They send me to shows, and I get to wait in the press line with the NYTimes and pick up amazing (and free) tickets. Check me out!
