ABOUT ME



ABOUT ME

My name is Emily Libby. I am a student at Thomas College studying Early Childhood Education with a minor in Management. I want to become a teacher to help influence the early years of education and am very passionate about doing so. I want to foster a positive and supportive learning environment that takes from the ideas of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Education should be equitable and valuable and that is what I strive to bring to the classroom.
