Miss Kristen Leo, AM Latchkey

I feel overjoyed to be a part of the Peace Lutheran staff this year! I have felt so welcomed as one of the new staff, and I cannot wait to start the year! Here is some background information: I live in one of my favorite cities, Rochester, my whole life! This place has so much rich history and there is so much to do here too! I attended St. John Lutheran School for 8th grade. I then transitioned to Lutheran Northwest for High School. I graduated from Rochester College (University) earning an undergraduate degree in Social Work and Counseling. I have used this degree in various ways, by working with children in foster care and working in the classroom at schools. One of my passions is helping others partner with Jesus to find the roots of pain, feel/heal and move on! That goes with my life slogan; “My passion is people and my heart is ministry.” For fun, I am in leadership at my church, Living Army. I also enjoy my community group. Another passion of mine is art. I am an artist. I have painted many items. I am currently learning about pour art and using differing mediums. It is a blast! Teaching and working with children, has always been special! I look forward to meeting everyone this year and I am looking forward to what this year will bring in each classroom!
