Elizabeth Thackeray
Elizabeth Thackeray hails from Salt Lake City, Utah. She holds a BA in English Teaching from Brigham Young University, Utah. While delving into her studies at BYU, she also had the opportunity to mentor hundreds of incoming freshman students. In the middle of her studies she spent 18 months living in Thailand doing humanitarian service, teaching English, and becoming fluent in Thai. Prior to moving to Virginia, Elizabeth taught high school English. She reluctantly gave up teaching for a time to pursue a Master of Arts degree in English at Georgetown University. Though she finds that being a student again is fulfilling, she misses teaching and working with students. Elizabeth is excited to be back in the front of the classroom this summer teaching with Fairfax Collegiate.
