Kara K. Siegel
Certified Texas Teacher with Lower Elementary Montessori Certification
I joined Garden Oaks in 2012 while completing my Texas certification and Montessori certification. I received a Bachelor's degree from Sam Houston State in Business Administration in 2001, and worked as a travel agent in addition to working with elementary students in after-school programs for many years. I also wrote curriculum and trained new caseworkers for Adult Protective Services, while shooting photography for youth sports. I am an artist and photographer in my free time, and have done a few gallery shows in Houston and Galveston, but don't find much time to show anymore now that I am teaching! Painting has become more of a way to unwind and express myself creatively. In 2011, while teaching 3rd and 4th graders at Unity, I decided to make a career change and pursue teaching full time. I am grateful for the daily opportunity to do what I love! I am currently working on becoming certified as a mindfulness instructor.
