Meet Ms. Kempen

I am the Literacy Coach at Westwood Elementary. I have previous taught Kindergarten, 2nd, and 3rd grades. I love partnering with Westwood teachers to improve literacy instruction by providing professional development, coaching, and working with students in classrooms.


I am an alumni of West De Pere School District and live in the district with my husband and 2 children.  I enjoy running, reading, and camping with my family.  I graduated from St. Norbert College in 2003 with a Bachelor of Art in Education degree with a minor in Early Childhood.  I earned by Masters in Education with my 316 Reading Teacher license in 2009 and Reading Specialist license in 2023.
