Brian Schmitt

Brian showed supreme dedication and focus towards his teaching responsibilities in 2009-2010 and felt that he needed another year to finish what he started. In addition to teaching Middle School Math, Brian conceived of the first annual SJBS Field Day, a highly successful experience which he looks to repeat this coming year. In his free time, Brian ran the hills surrounding Cofradia, maintaining his marathon form despite the relentless heat. Previous to BECA, Brian served as a language tutor, a basketball coach, an Appalachian Mountain Club trip leader and trail builder. Brian graduated from the University of Massachusetts in 2008 with a BA in Economics and a minor in Latin American Studies and spent the first half of 2007 studying in Argentina. In addition to his teaching duties, Brian looks forward to taking more of a leadership role with the escuela de padres and microfinance initiatives among SJBS scholarship families.
