I love children of all ages and feel honored every day that parents entrust them to our care. My learning background is in social studies and literature, and I&#8217;ve been a technology integrationist and S.E.E.D. diversity trainer. I received my Educational Doctorate from Bethel University.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did you find appealing about MPA during the interview process?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe very first interview question Bill Hudson asked me was &#8220;How are you?&#8221; From that moment, I knew MPA was a deeply caring community as evidenced by its motto, &#8220;Dream Big. Do Right.&#8221; Throughout the process, MPA&#8217;s mission and values were at the heart of our conversation. I am thrilled to be joining such a transformative school and look forward to learning much from the families, children, and staff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s your big dream?<\/strong><br \/>\nTo complete a set of art works and hold an exhibition where I invite all my friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you passionate about?<\/strong><br \/>\nI am passionate about global mindedness, travel, culture, and long conversations with great people over great meals (without cell phones!). I love nature and am an avid scuba diver. I hope to never stop loving, learning, and laughing with others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s a fun fact about you that our community would love to know?<\/strong><br \/>\nI took a year off to travel around the world with my sister and we got to see my favorite animal\u2014a giraffe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please help us welcome Dr. Ann Jurewicz, interim Lower School director, to MPA!
