Kelly’s passion in the classroom stems from her foundational belief that a great education can change the trajectory of a child’s life. Her classroom is a jungle gym of learning where children develop holistically through an intentional focus on social-emotional development. Kelly empowers student voices in the classroom, inspires a love of words even in the most skeptical of readers, and encourages her students to never stop wondering. Outside of school Kelly enjoys spending time cooking with her husband, practicing yoga, tending to her backyard garden and traveling back to East Africa as often as she can!
