We would like to welcome Miss Kaun, our newest scholarly sleuth. She is joining us from Biola University and will be completing her final student teaching experience in our classroom from now until December. Because scholars are curious, we want to know more about Miss Kaun. Thankfully, she is willing to share a few details about herself.
Miss Kaun grew up in a family of four, including her parents and her older sister, Melinda. Raised in Orange, California, Miss Kaun has always lived close to both sets of grandparents, who have been very influential in her life.
When she was in grade school, Miss Kaun participated in Girl Scouts, took Irish dance lessons for five years, joined and lead a color guard team, and was actively involved with her church. As an adult, she enjoys going out to dinner and watching movies (especially musicals) with her family and friends. She also likes walking to her grandma’s house with her dogs, Ginger (boxer-shepherd mix) and Maggie (affenpinscher).
She is an avid tea drinker and has a large collection of coffee mugs. Family vacations are always a highlight, allowing Miss Kaun to explore new and exciting places. As part of her college experience, Miss Kaun was able to spend a semester learning in London. While there, she was able to visit six other countries, including Sweden, a dream destination. As a result of that experience, she has started to learn some Swedish, which she has found gratifying in multiple ways.
Most recently, Miss Kaun visited Paris, Luxembourg, and Bruges with her mom (a TASOK alumnus), her sister, and her aunt, who lives and works here in Kinshasa.
Miss Kaun loves working with students in the classroom and is looking forward to learning with and from each TASOK condor. After her time at TASOK, Miss Kaun plans to return to her home town and substitute teach. Her goal is to have her own classroom of scholars for the 2019-2020 school year.
