Ms. Courtne Comrie, our stellar NYC Men Teach scholar ambassador, graduated Spring 2019 with her B.A. in English (Creative writing) and is starting her first year as a Department of Education teacher.Ms. Comrie is a writer who has had work published in The New York Times and is now a contributor to DREAMing Out Loud: Voices of Undocumented Students.
