Students call me Ms. Kirsten. I joined Soundview in 2010. Prior to Soundview, I taught a range of grade levels at an independent school in Seattle and served as a gifted and talented specialist in North Dakota. I earned my teaching degree from Central Washington University and my Masters in Education from the University of North Dakota. I love nurturing meaningful relationships and sharing my passion for learning with students. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time outdoors camping, hiking, and gardening with my husband and two active daughters.
