Personal Statement

Hi my name is Alex, Ms. Kemsley, or Coach! I've heard all three in the variety of positions I've worked in. I graduated from an academically rigorous high school with a 3.8 GPA, where I was required to write a thesis and earned multiple college scholarships. I then pursued a B.A. in Humanities and a minor in Museum Studies at The King's College in New York City. While in college I was working as a T.A. for a 200-level Research Writing course, where I helped students refine their analysis, grammar, and comprehensive writing skills. Post-graduate, I taught AP Art History a charter school, achieving a 60% pass rate through engaging lesson plans and interactive learning. I still keep in touch with several of my students. Currently, I work for a local nonprofit called Chain Reaction, which holistically supports high school students in achieving their secondary goals. I’m dedicated to helping students excel through hands-on learning and personalized feedback, fostering both confidence and academic growth.
