Ms. O’Brien graduated from Hillsdale College with a degree in English. She also studied Mathematics and earned both an Elementary Teacher Certification and a Secondary English and Mathematics Teacher Certification. She went on to teach at Will Carleton Academy in Hillsdale, where she taught 5th and 8th grades. While at Hillsdale, she especially enjoyed an education class all about reading, in which students memorized poetry, read novels on the importance of knowledge, and learned simply how best to read. Her enthusiastic professor made the class especially engaging, and he inspired Ms. O’Brien to be a lively lecturer. Ms. O’Brien enjoys playing and coaching volleyball, trying new coffee shops in Austin, and eating breakfast tacos. In her spare time she follows the Detroit Tigers and Michigan State Spartans.
