Our Team

I am currently a math and science teacher in an elementary school. I have been teaching for over 20 years. I have earned my certification to teach gifted students. I am originally from Los Angeles, California, and have two wonderful grown sons, both graduates of Evan's High School. I look forward to exploring the fascinating world of insects with my scholars this summer!

I am a high school Spanish teacher. Prior to becoming a certified teacher, I worked with elementary, middle, and high school students as a classroom assistant and substitute teacher. I am fluent in Spanish and knowledgeable about Spanish-speaking cultures, which allows me to lead engaging lessons in music, dance, art, and language and to maintain a fun and safe learning environment.

I am an assistant professor in Kinesiology at Augusta University. I hold a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Seoul National University (SNU) in South Korea. I have developed IB-aligned curricula and taught young children basic body movements and sports, including indoor soccer, inline skating, and basketball. I am an experienced tennis coach.

I am an MAT student in Elementary Education at Augusta University and currently a Pre-K Special Education teacher. I have extensive experience supporting diverse learners through developmentally appropriate, hands-on instruction. My background has strengthened my ability to differentiate instruction, manage engaging learning environments, and support students with varying learning needs.

I am an assistant professor in Elementary Education at Augusta University. I have eight years of experience working with PK-12 students as a literacy tutor, teacher, and teacher educator. Paper cutting was my childhood hobby and a calming zone from academics. I look forward to sharing this creative, mindful art form with students. 

I am a kindergarten teacher with a Master of Arts in Teaching and a deep love for helping children creatively express themselves through the arts. With 10 years of experience as an early interventionist and a background as a creativity coach, I use engaging activities such as games, storytelling, and role-play to build confidence and communication skills. I am passionate about creating fun, supportive spaces where children feel empowered to explore their imagination.

I bring more than 30 years of experience teaching art to children of all ages in public and private schools throughout the CSRA. For the past 16+ years, I have proudly worked for Kids University, where I’m passionate about creating fun, engaging, hands- on art experiences that build confidence, spark creativity, and leave students excited to learn. I look forward to another great year teaching art at Kids University!

 I bring 3 years of classroom teaching and 9 years of experience in the school system, including gifted certification. I have three years of experience teaching at Kids University, where I designed and led culturally focused, hands‑on lessons. My background in differentiated instruction and project‑based learning equips me to create engaging, age‑appropriate activities that foster global awareness, curiosity, and respectful cross‑cultural exploration.

With 14 years of teaching experience, I was named Teacher of the Year in my school for 2023-2024 and ranked in the District Top 5. I serve as the kindergarten department chair, and I foster students’ curiosity and fluency through engaging reading instruction.I received my reading endorsement in 2022 and completed my Leadership Certification at Augusta University.

I have been a classroom art teacher for about ten years, working in multiple cities across Georgia. My teaching experience spans elementary, middle, and high school, with most of my career spent in the middle school setting. Throughout my career, I have consistently included resist techniques in my curriculum because they support creative thinking and give students a chance to explore nontraditional art‑making methods. These techniques also work well across grade levels, as the materials and processes can be easily adapted for different ages and skill levels.

I have been teaching for eight years, working with students from elementary through high school, which has given me a broad understanding of how writing skills develop across grade levels. I hold certification in Secondary English and a master’s degree in early childhood education, and I am currently completing my Specialist in Education degree. I am passionate about helping students discover their voices as writers and fostering creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

With nine years of teaching experience, I have developed strong expertise in supporting students’ mathematical understanding across elementary grade levels. My Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree has strengthened my instructional practices, especially in designing standards-aligned lessons, differentiating for diverse learners, and using data to guide instruction. Throughout my career, I have taught core math skills, implemented hands-on activities, and helped students build confidence as problem-solvers. My background allows me to create engaging, developmentally appropriate math experiences that promote deep conceptual learning.

This will be my fourth year teaching at Kids University. I am currently working on my Doctor of Education at Augusta University. I have a Master of Arts in Teaching specializing in elementary music and am certified to teach music in grades PK-12, though I do not teach full time. I am a member of the American Orff Schulwerk Association and attend workshops/conferences to further my knowledge and experience in music education. I also perform with various ensembles in the Augusta area and teach private music lessons to students aged 7-15.
