Welcome to MPA, Ms. Emily Kang! Ms. Kang will take over as the part-time school nurse, pairing with Ms. Deb Stone, and we are thrilled to introduce her to the community!
From what school/organization are you coming?
For the past 10 years, I’ve been at home with our kids.
Tell us about your education and past experience.
I worked as a (primarily) pediatric CRNA at M Health Fairview and as a NICU nurse.
What did you find appealing about MPA?
I graduated from MPA in 1996 and attended K-12 here. Now, two of our four children are enrolled—one in fourth grade and another in first grade. MPA was like a second home to me, so when the opportunity arose, I volunteered to fill a need. Now, I’m proud to be on staff as an RN in the health office, helping serve the community. We are deeply grateful for the incredible educators here who spend so much time with our children and work alongside us daily to help shape them into kind, strong humans.
What lasting impact do you plan to have on MPA and its students?
I hope to support the students and staff so that educators can focus on teaching and students can engage in joyful learning.
What’s your big dream?
To get eight hours of sleep and make it through a viral season unscathed. I would also love to travel more as a family—New Zealand, South Korea, and Japan are high on the list.
What are you passionate about?
My family loves spending time together at home, whether we’re playing, reading, baking, or just hanging out outside and swimming. We especially enjoy any time we can spend up at the North Shore.
What’s a fun fact about you that our community would love to know?
My sister, Nelle is also an alum and lifer and works at MPA in the library.
