Hello, my name is Emily Mmaitsi. This is my 4th year teaching at The Academy at Lincoln. I am originally from Nairobi-Kenya. I graduated from Kenyatta University in Kenya with a Bachelor of Education Arts Degree and relocated to the USA in 1999. I attended the University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNCG) Special Education graduate program and graduated as a Special Education Teacher. I taught as a special education teacher for 15 years before changing to teaching English Language Arts. I have 5 children: 4 daughters, 1 son and a dog (Nahla). I love to read, travel and listen to music. It brings me such joy to see my students grow and mature into responsible adults. I look forward to another wonderful year at Lincoln Academy.
