Christie is currently a Gifted and Talented Magnet Coordinator and Resource Teacher for an elementary school in Louisville, KY. Her passion for teaching began at a young age, always sharing that she wanted to be a teacher when she grew up. She began her career teaching first grade and since then has taught 2nd-5th grades.  Last year, Christie transitioned from the classroom to a Deeper Learning Resource Teacher for Jefferson County Public Schools.  In this role, she worked with her team to facilitate professional learning experiences and coach educators on deeper learning classroom strategies such as project based learning.  She is a Kentucky CTEPs alum, Project Based Learning certified educator, and UK Next Gen graduate.
