Hello! My name is Maryn Lewallen and this is my first year teaching at ACS. I currently live in Lahore, Pakistan, where I teach middle school language arts. I'm moving to Jordan with my partner, who will teach second grade, and our kids Ezra (5) and August (3).
I grew up in Colorado, so I love being in mountains, hiking, and riding bikes. I'm a collage artist, a singer, and an amateur contemporary dancer. And, as an English teacher, I obviously love reading (mostly fiction, poetry, and memoir).
Before I became a teacher, I spent six years as a public health researcher. In this role, I designed and implemented mixed methods research studies on a variety of topics. Research can be both frustrating and rewarding, and I am excited to mentor you all through this process!
If you have any questions or concerns before the school year begins, please feel free to reach out to me at mlewallen@acsamman.edu.jo.
Enjoy the summer! I look forward to meeting you in August.
