Emma started interning at Parkmont in 2024, in the spring of her senior year. Lucky for us, she agreed to stay on after graduation, quickly becoming an invaluable part of the Parkmont staff. Wise and gentle, Emma works with students who need a little extra help or someone to sit with them while they tackle an assignment. She’s on the spot when a student needs a few minutes to calm down or a teacher needs to step away from the classroom. She’s game for every field trip and adventure! Emma works hard to understand the students so that she could help them effectively, and they sense her care and her innate kindness. Nijole has dubbed her “The Middle School Whisperer.” Emma is also an incredibly gifted artist and has been taking college classes at night while working at Parkmont. When she let us know that she would be leaving at the end of this year to attend college full time, our hearts broke a little, but we knew we couldn’t ask her to stay forever. The world awaits! Emma, we love you and will miss you very much. Working with you has been a pleasure and an honor. Good luck and have fun in your next adventures!
