Western Governors' University - Master of Arts in Elementary Education

University of Vermont - Bachelor of Arts in History

Hello Swift Creek Families!  I joined Swift Creek last year after having completed a Master’s degree in elementary education at WGU.  Before becoming an educator, I spent 20 years in the landscape industry managing property maintenance crews providing beautiful landscapes for clients to enjoy.  I grew up in Vermont, where I met my wife of 16 years, spent 9 years in Colorado where our two children were born, and moved to North Carolina about 6 years ago so that my family and I could enjoy the ocean and the mountains.

I am glad to be part of the Swift Creek community and to be part of your child's educational journey.

Keene State College - Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, B.S. Social Sciences

My name is Mrs. Kristin D’Amelio.  I am so excited to be your child’s 4th grade ELA/S.S teacher this year. 

I am married and have two children.  My son Sam is an eighth grader and my daughter Ava is a sixth grader.  We also have a cuddly Goldendoodle named Scout. The beach is my happy place! I love to get lost in a great book while enjoying the sights and sounds of the beach! I enjoy exploring the beach at sunrise with my sweet Scout, watching the sun come up over a brand new day! I grew up in a small town on the north shore of Massachusetts. My parents and grandparents are and will always be my role models.  I went to Keene State College in New Hampshire, graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Elementary Education and Social Sciences. This is my 19th year in the field of education, and I am passionate about teaching and learning! I am eager to get to know you all as we become a close, strong knit school family.
