Assistant Promotions Director

“I have worked under Kenzee for a few years now in Special Education. She takes her time to fully know ALL of her students. Because of this, she able to pinpoint exactly what each individual student needs to help them become successful not only in the classroom, but in life as well. You will NEVER find a bigger advocate for our resource kids than her. She will fight tooth and nail to make sure they are receiving every resource available to them. She also makes sure the parents know what rights they have as parents to make sure their child is receiving an appropriate education. She is just an incredible human and I am honored that I get to watch her magic.”
