Hi! I’m Kristin.
I taught a self-contained homeroom for 7 years. Now, I’m an instructional coach, focused on K-2 literacy. I am passionate about both teaching kids and teaching teachers!
I’m currently living in metro Atlanta, in the ‘burbs now rather than the city.
Personally, I’m a mom of 2 – and it’s my favorite job title I’ve ever held! In my free time, I enjoy reading, kayaking, and creating digital content for you.
Thanks for being here! Other than this website, my favorite place to hang out is on Instagram @schoolandthecity.
