Mrs. Kinser

I am thrilled to be your child's teacher.  This is my 22nd year of teaching, and my sixth year at Monarch Elementary.  I have experience in first grade, second grade, and third grade.

I am originally from Charleston, but I grew up in Alpharetta, Georgia. I earned my degree in Elementary Education from The College of Charleston. My husband Jason and I have been married for 16 years, and we have two children. Our son William (14) is an ninth grader at Mauldin High School, and our daughter Caroline (11) is a sixth grader at Riverside Middle School.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family. You can almost always find us outdoors in our neighborhood or at the lacrosse field, ball park, or basketball court attending a child's game. We also enjoy spending time at the lake and beach. Lake Lanier in Georgia and Destin, FL are our favorite places.  I LOVE playing with our 3 year old yellow lab Georgia, getting manicures and pedicures, and shopping. Since I grew up in the Atlanta area and married a graduate of the University of Georgia, we are UGA fans. Go Dawgs!!!

I am thrilled to be your child's teacher and look forward to an incredible year ahead. I am eager for the learning and fun to begin.
