Emily Gunn is a Teaching Fellow at Bold Charter School. The daughter of a first-generation immigrant and raised in the vibrant cultural landscape of San Francisco, California, Emily developed an early appreciation for diverse perspectives and experiences. This passion led her to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in History, with a minor in Anthropology, at Wake Forest University. Through her liberal arts education, she gained a nuanced understanding of the systemic forces that shape and sustain educational inequity in the United States. Emboldened to contribute to the movement for educational equity, Emily joined Teach For America as a 2025 Corps Member following graduation. In her current role at Bold, she is committed to learning from, honoring, and leveraging community knowledge to cultivate supportive, engaging learning environments that empower students to recognize and reach their full potential––as lifelong learners, globally minded citizens, and endlessly fascinating individuals.
