Ms. Smith is thrilled to join the Kinetic team this year! Born and raised in Orange County, she comes from a family of passionate educators. While earning her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Ms. Smith spent three amazing years on Oahu before returning to Orange County to complete her Master’s in Elementary Education and Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. This marks her third year of teaching, and she’s excited to dive into Kindergarten for the first time! When she’s not in the classroom, Ms. Smith loves spending time outdoors, especially at the beach with her family and her puppy, Sunny.
