Emma Grayson grew up in Thousand Oaks, California and attended St. Augustine Academy in Ventura, graduating in 2020. She then went on to Wyoming Catholic College that Fall, where she was further immersed in the Liberal Arts and the great outdoors, or as some call it, God’s first book. She wrote her undergraduate thesis on the topic of education, which became a great passion of hers. She argues for and believes in a way of teaching students that helps students discover how they themselves best learn, so that they fall in love with both the learning process and the world they are learning about. Emma’s desire is to help students learn about themselves, the world around them, and about God, so that they may grow in love for Him and his creation.
