Ms. Klope
I look forward to coming to QAE each day as I get to work with students, parents, and staff who are so dedicated to our learning community. I love teaching and I love learning. I love the challenge of discovering how each of my students will experience success and helping them achieve that success through hard work, perseverance, and deep engagement (fun!).
I grew up on Whidbey Island with my patient mom, younger sister and brother, and a wildlife biologist dad who always kept our lives full of adventure. I attended UW and then graduated from Central Washington University. I stayed in Ellensburg and commuted to Yakima for two years to teach at a SIG grant school full of truly resilient kids. Their Spanish language barrier and difficult home lives challenged me every day and gave me a great start to a career in education. My home is now QAE and I am thrilled to be totally immersed and growing in our innovative, 21st century environment!
When I’m not at school I visit new places, stay active, read lots of books and listen to lots of music. I also make a great attempt at gardening out of pots around my apartment! My favorite time is with family and friends and most of it is spent going on adventures with Joe and our world’s greatest dogs-James and Louie!
