Introductions

Hi, my name is Katie Carroll (she/her) and I am a 2013 graduate of Rhode Island College where I received a BA in Secondary Education/English. I have been teaching English and journalism at Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School for five years. As of January 2018, I was accepted into the M.Ed program in Advanced Studies in Teaching and Learning. Feel free to follow me on twitter where I tweet for an audience of both my colleagues and my students!

When I am not teaching, I volunteer part-time for Ten Lives Cat Rescue, a foster-based rescue that is dedicated to "forgotten felines" -the physically and emotionally scarred, the behaviorally challenged, and those with critical medical care. I foster under-socialized cats, coordinate adoptions, and assist with event planning.

Although I do not have children of my own, I am a dedicated auntie to my nieces: Grace and Julia. Since March, it has been incredibly challenging to be quarantined from them because they live with my parents and grandmother, who are more medically at-risk. Recently, however, we have begun to have "social distant" hangouts in outdoor spaces. Below, you will see pictures from a recent picnic. My niece, Grace, is very much like me in that she enjoys exploring historical cemeteries. So I hope you'll excuse the somewhat bizarre location for our lunch!

In my spare time, I enjoy playing Dungeons & Dragons, listening to my favorite podcast, Welcome to Nightvale, and spending time with my cats, Lizzie and Buford.
