Melissa Schoeplein has been a member
of the Thomas Jefferson Humanities Department since 2002. She has
taught AP U.S. Government: Topics in Globalization, World History,
World Religions, and Anthropology. Prior to teaching at Jefferson, Ms.
Schoeplein worked as a Program Instructor for the Close Up Foundation,
a civics education non-profit organization based in Washington, DC. Ms
Schoeplein's first job out of college was as the Program Coordinator of
University of California at Berkeley Washington Program where she
recruited, selected, and orientated Berkeley undergraduates to spend a
semester interning in the nation's capital. As an undergraduate, she
interned at the White House for five months in the Office of the Vice
President. It was at this time that Ms. Schoeplein caught "Potomac
Fever" and became a political junkie. She earned her Master of Arts in
Teaching from Brown University in 2002 and her B.A. in History from the
University of California at Berkeley in 1998. She lives in
Washington, DC and she loves teaching at TJ.
