Kirstie is passionate about helping students discover their God-given strengths, overcome challenges, and grow in confidence as learners. She is committed to strengthening and cultivating Christ-centered learning environments that support students as they persevere, flourish academically, and recognize and use the gifts God has given them as they grow into devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
Kirstie enjoys spending time with her husband, Bradley, and their two sons, Keegan (class of 2036) and Luke (class of 2040). In their spare time, they are at the baseball fields, Disney World, or the beach, as well as serving and attending First Baptist Church, Orlando.
