Hi Kingswood families! This will be my eighth year as the School Library Media Coordinator at Kingswood. I am originally from New York, and I earned my undergraduate degrees in English and French from Boston University. My graduate degrees in English Literature and Library Science are from UNC-Chapel Hill, and I also completed the school library licensure program at UNC-Greensboro. Like most librarians, I love books! I have worked in publishing and with rare printed materials in the past, but I really enjoy sharing the love of reading with students. I also love art, travel, and spending time with my family. I am looking forward to a great year at Kingswood!

Hi Kingswood Families! My name is Coach B; this is my 5th year as the PE teacher at Kingswood. I am from Emerald Isle, NC, and I moved to Raleigh in 2015 to attend Meredith College. I earned a degree in Exercise Sports Science and obtained a K-12 teaching license in Health and PE. At Meredith College, I ran collegiately on the Cross Country and Track Teams and was a Teaching Fellow. In 2022, I graduated with my master's in Kinesiology from the University of North Georgia. I have a Goldendoodle named Maple, and I am a lover of anything Disney World! This summer, I celebrated my one-year wedding anniversary with my husband traveling in Iceland, London, & Paris! I am very excited for a fun and active year!

Jessara Miragliuolo

Hi Kingswood families! This is my 8th year as the Art teacher here at Kingswood. I graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Sculpture before continuing to their graduate program for Art Education. I am also a National Board-Certified teacher. In my classroom I practice the TAB (Teaching for Artistic Behavior) pedagogy. A belief that the students are the artists, and the classroom is their studio. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy playing with my dog, Cody, hiking, watching football and traveling! My husband and I have been to 45 countries. I love sharing with students the world’s beautiful sites, cultures, and ART. I am looking forward to another great year filled with creativity and fun!

Hello Kingswood community! I'm thrilled to continue making music with our amazing students here at Kingswood. As a Cary local and a proud graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill with a degree in K-12 Music Education, it's been such a joy to return home and be part of this vibrant school. Whether we’re singing, playing instruments, or moving to the beat, I love helping students grow through music. Outside the classroom, you might find me playing banjo at local bluegrass events or enjoying strategy games at home. I'm always ready to share music with whomever possible—please feel free to reach out if you're interested in getting involved with our music program!
