She is an enthusiastic advocate for diverse learners and the families and educators who support them.
Ms. Grant believes all students deserve to approach each day with a sense of curiosity, confidence, empowerment, and hope. Her goal continues to be fostering and supporting the social-emotional and academic resilience and success of all students, meeting them where they are. She is at heart a collaborative problem-solver and thought partner who works to connect students and families with what they need to be their best.
When not working, she can be found roaming the outdoors with her husband and three children, loving on their many pets, or writing music.
