Kristine brings a unique combination of experiences as a former social studies teacher, administrator, and higher education faculty member, making her exceptionally equipped to understand and address the needs of her clients.

Very helpful and informative! I look forward to our next session.
Dr. Malik presented us with great information on mindset and student/school growth.
The presentation allowed for movement and information sharing among colleagues and gave us many ideas that where immediately applicable in our classrooms.
It was a pleasure co-presenting with Kristine for a women’s entrepreneur nNetwork. She has a huge passion for helping others to see how being in the growth mindset can really help you as a learner. She also has a wonderful way of asking questions and seeking to understand the goals of a project. It was a pleasure working with her and seeing how her work impacts schools and entrepreneurs.
As a 2nd year teacher, lesson planning can be stressful. I found that Magic School will be extremely beneficial for me as an educator. I know that if I am ever struggling to come up with creative ideas or just need some inspiration, I can use this tool for assistance.
