Hello, my name is Emma Dean. I am from Cleveland, Ohio. I have been a gymnastics coach at a local gym for four years. I have done cheerleading and gymnastics all my life. I attended Avon Lake High School and am a Freshman at Ohio State University. I am pursuing a Secondary Education in Integrated Language Arts/English major to become a high school English teacher. I am the second youngest of five, with one brother and three sisters. I am interested in the creative arts, as I play the piano and guitar, sing, paint, draw, and sew. In my free time, I enjoy pursuing creative activities, being with my friends and family, and reading. I also enjoy going to the theater; I have seen over 30 plays, musicals, and operas. I am a member of ACES (Advocates for Communities and Education Scholars), where we do community service and bonding activities. I was a student director for my youth group for four years, so I have a lot of experience leading teenagers. I have loved teaching ever since I was a child, and I have a passion for reading and writing which set me on the path to becoming an English teacher.
