Bio

Hello! My name is Kendra, and I am looking forward to helping your middle school and/or high school learners be successful in the classroom and beyond. I want them to feel confident, curious, and encouraged. I have always lived in Southeast/Central Indiana. I have been very fortunate to travel a lot over my life. I have traveled all around our country and abroad. I have always loved to travel, spend time with friends and family, go to the theater, watch some sports, and cook. I have found being able to make learning relevant, building a rapport, and using real-world experiences help students to engage in the lessons so they are curious and wanting to know more. I love being creative, telling stories, exploring, and finding ways to connect that to our lessons. I bring that enthusiasm and curiosity into my lessons and my classroom. I look forward to working with your students to help them grow, be confident, and be successful.
