Ms. Kimberly Calixte, Occupational Therapist
My name is Kimberly Calixte. Calixte pronounced Kal-lix.; hence why I have my students call me Ms. Kim. I was born in NY and raised in South Florida. I am the youngest of three girls. What I value most in my life is my family, friends, and relationship with God; these three components have largely attributed to who I am today. I attended Nova Southeastern University, in South Florida where I earned my Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy in 2010. In April of 2017, I took a leap of faith and moved to Raleigh, NC seeking a new life experience where I finally landed my long sought-after career path of working with the pediatric population. I worked at WCPSS for the 2017/18 school year, however, I took a brief two-and-a-half-year hiatus to work at an outpatient adult and pediatric clinic where I was able to gain more valuable experience. In the end though, I decided to come back to WCPSS where my heart was and I plan to stay put this time.
