About
hi. I’m Emily Kornblut.
I’m an educator and new media producer living and working in Brooklyn, New York.
My main professional gig is being the producer, project manager, and VP of snacks of the Really Useful Media Company. I love my job because it ties together my passion for learning, storytelling, new media, and nonprofits. I began my career teaching as a student volunteer in an after school program for homeless children and have been a believer in experiential education ever since. I spent a decade teaching in a range of settings, including international exchange and summer camp programs. From 2006-08, my experience as the US Education Program Manager at TakingITGlobal sparked for me a new understanding of the role that social media can play in transformative global learning. I also serve on the advisory board of TechChange. I hold a BA from McGill University in International Development Studies and History and an MA from Teachers College, Columbia University in International Educational Development.
To learn more about my professional background, please get in touch on LinkedIn or contact me for my full resume.
Some of my favorite things are traveling (33 US states, 6 Canadian provinces, 19 countries, and counting), cooking, eating, taking still and moving pictures, running, politics, and learning. I am the author of Jaws Wired Shut, a food blog chronicling my experience as a broken jaw patient in 2009 that has been featured in The New York Times Diner’s Journal and Serious Eats.
