Bio
As a graduate of a girls’ school and long-time teacher of middle school girls, Liz is dedicated to the education of young girls and understands personally the transformative experience of attending an all-girls school. She is a proud alumna of Marlborough School in Los Angeles where she later taught mathematics for two years. After graduating from U.C. Berkeley and completing an MEd and teacher credential at UCLA, she decided to venture abroad to Spain and taught at the American School of Madrid. Before coming to JMSG, Liz counseled middle schoolers at a public school in SF and taught at The Athenian Middle School in Danville. A JMSG founding teacher with more than 25 years experience, she has worn many hats at JMSG including Summer Program Director, teacher mentor, admission committee member, and Parent Education coordinator in addition to teaching middle school math and advising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Recently, she was the Director of Admission at The Girls’ Middle School in Palo Alto, another small, progressive school and the "twin sister" to JMSG. Liz enjoys creating from scratch - whether it is a ceramic piece, DIY project, or home-cooked meal - and pursuing new experiences with her two outgoing children. Liz is thrilled to return after a few years away; JMSG is where her heart is.

Bio
Emi is an alumna of both JMSG (Class of 2008) and Mills College. She holds a B.S. in Biopsychology, and is especially interested in the molecular workings of the female brain, particularly within socio-emotional contexts. Her time at JMSG helped her discover and ignite her joy for learning, and she is a strong believer in the power of women’s education across and at the intersections of all disciplines. Emi is thrilled to have the opportunity to return to the JMSG community, and is excited to bring her passion and experience to this new role. In her free time, she can be found playing and listening to music, reading, and exploring the Bay Area with her dog.
