About

Creating different tools for data visualization.

I believe in a world where every student knows they have unique value to add! My highlight as a teacher was getting handwritten cards at the end of the school year where students shared that I had helped them understand their unique value.

I spent a lot of my recess during 4th-5th grade in the Principal’s office (shocker) copying from the Webster’s College Dictionary. Along with strengthening my decision-making skills, I also built out a pretty decent vocabulary for my age. During one particular recess (that I got to join), I was the only one who knew where Mt. Vesuvius was located and could spell it. Jane Merwyn, my first crush, was so impressed, that she let me hold her hand and walk her back to class…education rocks!

My love of learning has resulted in earning three college degrees, the most recent of which is a B.S. Data Management and Data Analytics.

Software Development

I earned my PhD in Higher Education in 2015, focusing on perceptions of mattering in the doctoral student-advisor relationship. My studies on student and human development showed that everyone wants to feel they matter and belong. I love working at Kelvin! Kelvin not only helps districts track and improve culture, climate, and well-being, but it also fosters a supportive environment for its employees. Kelvin isn’t just a “Healthier, happier places to learn,” Kelvin is also creating a healthier, happier place to work!

Chaos Organizer

As a former educator, I loved inspiring students, seeing their joy, and nurturing a genuine love of learning. Now, at Kelvin, I’m excited to continue helping students in new ways. My role allows me to uncover their needs, listen to the voices of students, staff, and families, and support every student in thriving. It’s deeply fulfilling to remain connected to educators and contribute to positive outcomes for our school community.

I spent 16 rewarding and challenging years teaching 3rd, 4th, and 8th grades. Most of my career was at one school, where I developed a deep respect for our principal, Manual Salinas, whose leadership was outstanding. When he announced his retirement, I led the effort to rename the school in his honor. Within three months, “California Elementary School” became “Manual A. Salinas Creative Arts Elementary.” Being part of this name change was a way to give back to a man who impacted so many lives.

I am passionate about bringing care, wellness, and joy to those who need it most.

I’m a former middle school teacher who now works with schools to help improve student voices and promote student well-being!

My biggest educational achievement in education has been coming up with queries to extract from SIS, into the platform.

I started working in school climate and culture in NYC supporting students who witnessed 911 from their school. Over the years, I have run the implementation of 9M SEL grant, developed a Culturally Responsive Coaching program for Dallas ISD, and written widely on school climate and culture approaches. I am constantly inspired by the innate emotional intelligence of children!

Combining my passion for technology with the opportunity to work alongside an amazing team, all in pursuit of a noble purpose is truly fulfilling.

Kelvin brings JOY to my day every day through the work we are blessed to do with our AWESOME clients!

I am a proud problem solver who loves bringing people together. The greatest professional compliment I’ve ever received was being called a Swiss army knife. I’m a “trusted tool of adventurers, a companion you can count on.”

Being able to work with school districts and deliver solutions that truly impact the lives of students.

I have been a Customer Success Manager for almost a decade.  I joined Kelvin because the work we help districts do is so vital. When I was teaching at the elementary level, students often came to school carrying heavy emotional loads.  I did my best to check in, listen, and support, but it was hard to get to every child.  Having a tool like Kelvin Pulse to hear every student’s voice quickly and easily is a game changer for educators.  It is exciting to see it at work.
