Liam Kessler - Assistant Teacher/Animal Educator
Hi, my name is Liam Kessler and I'm joining The Green School staff starting in the 2018-19 school year! I've had the privilege of living in East Hampton for most of my life and after graduating from The University of Delaware in 2017, I moved to Springs where I live now. I absolutely love everything about the outdoors. I spend most of my free time fishing, diving, clamming and exploring. When I'm not in the water, I enjoy playing golf, cooking and playing the guitar. I'm fascinated by animals of all kinds and I share this interest with my two cats: Karen and Mouse.
I'm excited to be joining The Green School team because I love working with children and sharing my enthusiasm for nature and animals with them. I'm looking forward to being a part of such an amazing group and I can't wait to meet each student!
