Kari and her family recently moved to the Wood River Valley from Seattle, WA. Kari has been an elementary and special education teacher for 15 years. She completed her undergraduate work at The Evergreen State College and received her Masters in Teaching from the University of Washington. Through teaching, Kari loves to help students grow academically, socially, and emotionally, but most of all, to help her students feel successful as life-learners. Kari and her husband have spent a lot of time in the Wood River Valley and are excited to now call it home. She loves to spend time being active in the outdoors with her friends, family, and yellow lab.
