CLLC Announces New Learning Center Director -  

The CLLC Board of Director's is excited to announce the addition of as the new Director for the Learning Center.

With the addition of Blake and Cam we will officially seperate the two roles with both reporting to the Board of Directors. We are confident the dual alignment will increase the services and impact made under the mission of the CLCC within the Greater Charlestown Community for both Education & Lacrosse.

Blake brings over ten years of experience as an educator to the CLLC. After graduating from the University of Virginia in 2011, Blake taught fourth grade at a private school in Connecticut where she coached youth lacrosse and basketball.

In 2012, Blake joined Teach For America - Massachusetts, where she taught middle school math and science in Fall River. During her tenure with Teach for America Blake also completed her Masters in Education, Curriculum Design at Boston University. While in Fall River, she realized there were no sports teams for girls at her Charter School, so Blake co-founded the first girls cheerleading team and took them to the regional championships two years in a row.

After her time at Teach For America, Blake continued to teach secondary math and science at Brooke Charter School in East Boston. Blake’s 6th grade mathematicians were ranked #1 in the state two years in a row, had a student growth percentile of 95%, and 97% of her scholars scored advanced or proficient on math PARCC!

In 2016, Blake was named math department chair and new teacher development coach at Bentley Academy in Salem, MA.

Blake wrapped up her teaching career here in Boston at the Eliot K-8 Innovation School where she taught 5th and 7th grade math. After becoming a mother to her son, Warren,  she has continued to tutor several Boston students for the ISEE, MCAS and their rigorous school curriculum. 

Blake comes from a proud lacrosse family. In 2007, she was named Captain of her lacrosse team and Athlete of the Year at Staples High School in Westport, Connecticut. She then continued to play club lacrosse at the University of Virginia.

Her brother, Kip Orban, was the solo-captain at Princeton University and went on to play for the Rochester Rattlers and Charlotte Hounds in the Major League Lacrosse League. Her father co-founded and coached the Westport Lacrosse League in her hometown.  Blake looks forward to creating a safe and welcoming learning environment for the students in our community!

Please join us in welcoming Blake to our learning center!
