Get to Know Kristin...
What does “structure creates freedom” mean to you?
It means helping students learn the skills they need to help them become independent.
What’s a small win you love seeing students experience?
I love when students notice the moment a new skill “clicks”, and they can see their
progress. It’s exciting when students are proud of themselves.
How would you describe your coaching style in three words?
Kind, determined, and patient
What was your favorite class in school?
I loved English/Reading and I still do!
Who is one person you admire?
It’s really hard to pick just one. I admire everyone in my family for different reasons! I
also really admire people with a kind heart.
What’s your reset ritual after a long week?
Watching my son’s basketball game on Saturday mornings, followed by a fun family
outing. I also really like going to the movies.
If you could unplug anywhere for a week, where would it be?
Disney. It’s a magical place! I’ve traveled to 3 out of the 6 castles so far and plan to visit the rest!
