Emily Cook, M.A.

Emily Cook comes to PLNU from teaching most recently in a military education program. As a Navy spouse, she has been grateful to live in various regions of the United States and to teach at a number of institutions at different duty stations. As a writing and literature teacher, she is continually inspired by her students' stories, amazed at their creativity, and impressed by their motivation and perseverance. As a person who likes to jump at opportunities, she has tutored adult English learners, taught Latin to middle school students, taught art to elementary students, taught Latin, literature, and physics to home schoolers, helped high school seniors write their college admissions essays, and coached track and cross country. As a person of faith, she is active in religious education and marriage ministry, as well as ministries for young mothers and support groups for military spouses. As a community member, she has volunteered with St. Vincent de Paul Society, Meals on Wheels, Boy Scouts, and Best Buddies, as well as devoted years to PTO at her kids' various schools. As a parent of seven, she is intimately involved in a variety of educational issues. And as a person with many interests, she will read almost anything, participate in almost any outdoor activity, and eat almost anything.
