Hello! My name is Kristen Amos, and I am the Professional Learning Specialist at Soaring Hawk Elementary. I am originally from Houston, Texas and moved to Colorado in 2019. I graduated from Texas State University in 2005 with a B.S. in Elementary Education, and then earned my M.Ed in Reading from Regis University in 2023. 
I currently live in Highlands Ranch with my husband and 2 kiddos (Jack is 11 and Emmy is 9).  Some of my favorite things are the Colorado Avalanche, watching my son play hockey, listening to my daughter play the piano, my English Bulldog (Tater Tot), and being in the mountains with my family.

I am the Instructional Coach for Soaring Hawk and support the professional learning and collaboration of the staff.  A part of this role includes coaching new teachers to the profession and ensuring new teachers to SHE transition smoothly into our system.

I was on SHE's  opening team almost 20 years ago.  I've served as a classroom teacher, worked in district level positions, provided consultation for schools in several states seeking improvement and was the Colorado Teacher of the Year finalist.  In addition to my work with SHE,  I am a university affiliate faculty member.
