They were the Lead Teacher of their own classroom (two to three year olds) at Learning Tree Daycare for two years, with a curriculum focused on social and emotional learning. They are excited to learn Montessori methods of pedagogy and connect with a new community. Tessa studied psychology at Portland State University. In their free time, Tessa plays on a queer recreational soccer league in Portland and frequently goes to concerts and the library.
