Zoe

Scene: Alex Gyunn, Zoe Shewer, Jared Jacobs, and Alyssa Puccinelli at Zoe’s going away party hosted by her parents. Family, friends, and colleagues gathered at The Leadbelly to say adieu to Zoe before she headed off to Denver to be a special education teacher with Teach for America. This organization’s mission is to ensure that kids growing up in poverty get an excellent education.

Teach for America looks for individuals who show leadership potential and have other traits that are found in their most successful teachers.
Succeeding as a new teacher in any context is extraordinarily challenging. All corps members attend a rigorous pre-corps training institute for two years. Zoe has been involved with teaching underprivileged children since high school. She attended Vanderbilt and New York University. And, Zoe recently finished an internship with the Clinton Global Initiative.
