This is my 10th year teaching Primary at Kingswood. I grew up in Chapel Hill and attended North Carolina State University for Elementary Education. I was lucky enough to complete my student teaching at Kingswood and thrilled for the opportunity to join the team in 2015. I am Montessori certified and National Board certified in Early-Middle Childhood Literacy. In 2016, I married my high school best friend, Robbey. We love exploring the many trails, parks & restaurants in the Triangle. I also love cooking, baking, and working on my green thumb :) I have the cutest 1 year old on the planet (totally biased) named Emma. We love playing outside, going to storytime, and exploring new things together! She is my world! I am so excited for this new chapter in teaching and the opportunity to spread some smiles and laughs with my sweet students <3

This is my 30th year as a teacher at Kingswood. I am so proud to have had the opportunity to share in the lives of so many families. My daughter attended Kingswood as well. I am originally from Iowa and love the time I get to spend with family there. I enjoy walking with my dog and spending time with my daughter Savannah. I love decorating my home and HGTV remodeling shows. I am so excited to get to know my new students and families this year with Pre-K and K.

My name is Jennifer Sheeler and I have been teaching for 29 years.  I graduated from East Carolina University with a BS in Elementary Education.  Go Pirates!   I live in Apex with my husband and our two dogs, Wolfie and Titan.  My husband and I are proud parents of three amazing children.  In my free time, I enjoy reading mysteries and traveling with my family.  

Hi! My name is Alicia Winer and this will be my 14th year at Kingswood. I live in Garner with my husband, Dan. We have the CUTEST kids, Nora and Hudson! Nora will be in kindergarten at Kingswood this year, and she is equal parts sassy and adorable. Hudson is two-and-a-half years old and he LOVES to talk all day long! His smiles and giggles light up my life. Both kids are equally amazing and exhausting! I also have two goldendoodles, Penny and Parker, and a cat, Sasha.

I love to hike and go on adventures in the mountains. The mountains are my happy place, even if I don’t get to go very often these days. I also enjoy working out, Sunday naps, ice cream treats, and going on adventures with my kids.

I graduated from NC State with a degree in elementary education. At NC State I was a part of the Teaching Fellows program, the Scholars program, and I graduated as a valedictorian. In 2014 I received my Montessori Diploma.

I love working with children and challenging them to reach their full potential, both academically and emotionally. I can't wait to build relationships with each student I work with as I learn more about their shining personalities and interests. I strive to create a fun, inclusive, and loving learning environment at school. Teaching children is my pride and joy!

I have worked at Kingswood since 2014 and I love it! I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. I have a Financial Administration Bachelor's Degree. I'm a mom to 3 kids 17,15 and 6, and a labradoodle whose name is Yoshi. I love spending time with my family when I have free time and I love to dance. I'm looking forward to a great school year!

I am an instructional assistant in Primary. This is my fifth year as an IA at Kingswood Elementary School. I am excited to get to know more Kingswood families. My husband and I have two lovely children aged 9 and 11. I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family. 

Hi! My name is Joanna Hurley and this is my second year as an instructional assistant at Kingswood. Before coming here, I was an IA at Reedy Creek Elementary School. I am originally from Michigan and graduated from Central Michigan University with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I moved to Raleigh in 2014 and love it down here! During my spare time I love to watch hockey (GO AVS!), read, and do puzzles.

Hello! This is Khairunnisa Khan. Since my first name is hard to pronounce, friends and family call me Neelo :-) I worked at Kingswood as a substitute last year and now I am working here as an IA. I was born and brought up in Mumbai, India and I have a bachelor's degree in commerce with a major in Economics from Mumbai University. I live with my husband and 3 wonderful kids in Cary. I did not realize my love for teaching until I started volunteering for my eldest kid's preschool. Now, I am really happy to be working as an educator. My hobbies are gardening and walking.
