Ann came to KO 18 years ago after teaching at several other independent schools across the U.S. The one consistent thing in all her experiences is that she is able to share her love of learning with students. “I love figuring out how I can create lessons that will get students engaged and excited about math. I love watching students learn a complex concept and the excitement and pride they feel in the moment when they finally get it!” she said. She wants students to enjoy and love the process of learning. She has taught math in middle schools and high schools and even taught teachers how to teach math at the college levels. In addition, she loves working with other teachers on curriculum and helping to create a comprehensive math program. Outside of school, Ann enjoys visiting family, traveling, hiking in National Parks, reading, knitting, and watching anything on BBC. She has one goal: to see all the Major League Baseball parks, although her favorite team resides in the Bronx.

Rebecca joined the Kingswood Oxford Admissions team in July 2007. She developed a love for the world of Admissions back as a college student volunteering in the Office of Admission at her alma mater, The College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio where she earned a B.A. in Sociology and was a four-year member of the women’s lacrosse team. Rebecca works closely with KO’s Middle School and heads up Shield & Dragon, KO’s student ambassador program. Other interests of hers include skiing, tennis, cooking, and traveling. Rebecca grew up living in eight towns among four states, and some of her fondest memories were from their days raising llamas. She lives with her husband and their two children in West Hartford.
