Liam Isaak

LIAM ISAAK graduated in 2021 with a BFA in Media Arts Studies and a minor in International Cinema which is just a fancy way of saying they watched entirely too many movies in college. They've worked on several film sets for both live action and animation productions and have been able to travel the world taking pictures and finding weird stories. At Walden, they've enjoyed getting to teach the media classes and show off some truly weird films, music, and videos. Outside of class, they enjoy going to museums, skating, blasting music, and hanging out with their dog all day.

Emily Mower

EMILY MOWER was born and raised in Portland, Oregon and therefore loves trees. She learned Spanish on a college study abroad to Universidad Viña del Mar in Chile and later served as a missionary in Honduras for 18 months. Emily truly believes that monolingualism can be cured. She graduated with a Bachelors in Spanish Education from Brigham Young University-Idaho and a Masters of Second Language Teaching from Utah State University. Her teaching experience ranges from teaching middle school in North Carolina to high school in Las Vegas to college at USU.

An obsessor of musical theater, Emily's life revolves around music: composing, performing, accompanying, all the things. In 2018 she had the incredible privilege to be an interpreter for a 3-week international orchestra tour in Italy with musicians from 15 countries. Emily absolutely loves food, both eating it and making it. Her hero is Marie Kondo.
