In My Absence

As of May, I have put my advertising career on hold and have joined Teach for America. for two years. For those who don’t know, Teach For America is a public service non-profit organization that assigns college graduates to difficult teaching positions in under-performing rural or urban school districts for two years.

I will be teaching secondary English in the Denver area, and hope to bring my copywriting, research, and brief writing skills to the English classroom.

It’s quite a change in direction for me, and I will miss working in advertising. However, I am bright eyed with excitement about the opportunitiy to positively affect disadvantaged kids’ lives more directly.

I still hope to intermittently update The Brand Anthropologist, but my priority will be teaching for two years.

In the meantime, I invite you to check out my blog chronicling my Teach For America experience at Somehow a Teacher.

Cheers!
