Hello everyone. My name is Kristi and this course will be my final MATC Master's course! I am currently in my 4th year of teaching 8th grade American History at West Intermediate middle school in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. My first three years of teaching were spent teaching high school. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2006 where I received my BA in teaching while on a full-ride scholarship to play Division 1 volleyball. I have also coached varsity volleyball for all of the 7 years that I have been teaching. I live in St. Louis, which is about 20 minutes south of Mt. Pleasant and is also my hometown. In 2007, after 8 years of dating, I married my high school sweetheart. We have two beautiful children. Brooklyn will be 4 in July and Benjamin is 17 months. Although they are 2 1/2 years apart, they are roughly the same size as my daughter is petite and my son is a monster. I am probably one of the busiest people on the planet and always put too much on my plate, but somehow I manage to get it all done. Here's to a great summer semester!
