Alyson McClain
Alyson graduated from Florida Atlantic University in 2012 with a degree in Elementary Education. She taught second grade for eight years in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She loved building a community of little learners and channeling her inner child. Alyson also has a passion for other nations and cultures. In 2022, that passion moved her to the New York City, which hosts the largest number of Internationals in the U.S. Being newer to the city herself, she is excited to be a welcoming presence and friend to the many international students at NYU! In her spare time, she likes to spend time outdoors, looking for all the green spaces New York has to offer!
