What do you like about working at EL?
People & Product. It is an amazing group of people that work here with a vast background of different experiences, but what I enjoy most is the support and collaboration from everyone I have crossed paths with. I have the pleasure every day of seeing the impact our products have in the classroom and the engagement & excitement on students’ faces while using our resources, which motivates me to share with even more school districts.

Germany and Prague trip right after college with best friend. We had very little funds but an amazing experience. Contemplated opening a banana stand in Prague just so we could stay there longer.
