Hello!  My name is Ryan Bravin, and I am a first-year teacher here at Vance County Early College, where I teach English I and English II.  I was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, and I recently earned my bachelor’s degree in Communication and Creative Writing from the University of Arizona.  My experiences working with students throughout my life contributes to my deep-rooted belief in the potential of every one of them, and this is the thing that brought me to Eastern North Carolina’s Teach For America corps.  I couldn’t be more thrilled to be here, and I look forward to learning, leading, and loving on our students alongside our amazing staff!
