Kita has a heart as big as the world. Her smile lights up the room, and her "can do" attitude is a gift that few possess. Her work finds her in a different school each day as she skillfully uses her influence and knowledge to positively impact countless educators and students. She is truly a gift to Great Expectations!

Her experiences in implementing Great Expectations in a high school classroom make her an expert in the methodology at the secondary level.
