Ms. Kelsey is a San Diego native who grew up in Oceanside, CA. She is very excited to continue working on HTe’s 2nd grade team this year! This is her second year teaching 2nd grade at HTe. She loves the joy and learning that happens with students of this age. Before finding her home at HTe, she worked abroad as an ESL teacher, was a social-emotional mentor in a middle school, and taught grades 1, 2, 5 and 6 in a different school! She loves to encourage curiosity daily in her students and help them find their passions.

When not teaching, she enjoys spending time with her husband, trying new restaurants, going to the zoo and recharging with a good book.
