Kay’s work supports schools in intentionally designing organizational structures, project-based curriculum and long-term strategic planning. She holds a Doctorate of Education from the University of Southern California, with a focus on the 'Facilitation of Authentic Teaching and Learning in a PBL Environment'. In 2016, Kay was named Charter School Teacher of the Year for the State of Hawaii, while working at a project-based middle school. Her experience spans from primary grades to higher-education teacher preparation, instructional coaching, and working in environments with a diverse array of student needs, cultural backgrounds, and urban to rural environments.
