Middle School World Language Department Chair
“As a colleague, Kat’s open and enthusiastic approach to sharing and teaching has always singled her out in my mind as the caring and effective teacher that she has become in the middle and upper school. The love of the language she teaches and the peoples that speak it cannot be communicated in a louder or clearer voice. Here we have also known her to be a dedicated advocate for multiculturalism, latino culture and identify..I also count her as a dear friend. Our time together has revealed to me a charitable, compassionate person.”
