Kyrsten Persells

World Literature, American Literature,
IB Literature 2, and Enrichment Coordinator

I studied at the University of Michigan, where I got my BA in secondary education with a major in English and a minor in Earth/space science.  I have worn many hats at WIHI, including Head Graduate Assistant, Admissions and Enrollment Coordinator, and Enrichment Coordinator.  In every course I teach, I try to inspire my students to be open-minded and caring.  I feel blessed to be working in such a collaborative and student-centered environment!
