  Kelly joined Brimmer in 2000 as a Middle School English and history teacher. Although she initially planned to focus on teaching English, she quickly fell in love with the study of history and has been taking courses, traveling, and learning about the global community ever since. Kelly enjoys helping students connect with the world and learn about global issues and human rights through travel, critical thinking, and project-based learning in her classes. She was a 2014-2015 NAIS Teacher of the Future and will be a 2021-2022 member of the NAIS Global Ambassadors Advisory Working Group.

  As a member of the Brimmer community, Kelly loves interacting with students and colleagues, taking her students around the world, and having the opportunity to constantly challenge herself as a teacher and learner.
  
  

  Outside of work, Kelly loves to spend time with family and friends, travel, and read about anything and everything.
