Emma C. (IN A NUTSHELL)

Hi! I’m Emma—I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago and recently graduated from Middlebury College with a B.A. in Creative Writing. During my first two years at Middlebury, I played on the Women’s Varsity Volleyball team. After stepping away from the court, I got involved in WRMC Middlebury College Radio and joined Middlebury Discount Comedy, a sketch writing and performance group that became a creative home for me. I’ve always loved stories—whether through books, essays, photos, or collages. I believe every piece of art has something to teach us, and I’m drawn to anything hands-on and expressive. Reading, writing, photography, and drawing are my go-to ways of exploring the world and understanding myself.

My curiosity has taken me around the world: I studied Art History at Oxford during my sophomore summer and spent a semester abroad in Amsterdam, biking everywhere and soaking up the city’s culture. I hope to teach English abroad in the future and can’t wait for whatever adventure comes next! Right now, I’m Copywriting for an ad agency called Imre based in NYC, where I get to combine my love of language, creativity, and psychology.

One day, I’d love to be a professor—I’m especially curious about the intersections of art, psychology, and how we tell stories that resonate. I love working with students and helping them tap into their curiosity, voice, and confidence. Whether we’re writing creatively, building a passion project, or finding joy in a new book, I aim to create an open, encouraging space where students feel seen and supported. I can’t wait to meet your child and help them explore whatever sparks their imagination!
