Hello, I am Mrs. Kolsrud.  I was born in Peru and moved to the USA when I was ten years old.  I am exceptionally well qualified in the mathematics and science with a bachelor’s civil engineering degree from Rutgers, the state university of New Jersey.  I am passionate for igniting student curiosity and self-learning for all subjects.   I love teaching students and I feel they respond well to me.  In my previous job I received an award for Education Excellence in 2011.  My passions for teaching lead me to pursue a Master’s in Education.

I have experience working with diverse ethnic background students.  I was the recipient of the Award of Appreciation from the International Students Services for several years while attending Texas A&M University where I received my first undergraduate degree in Environmental Design. Here is where I met my wonderful husband who is from Norway.  We have been married for seventeen years and are proud and blessed parents of two amazing girls. I enjoy learning from other cultures and love to cooperate with people.  AFCS is a place where each student can reach their personal best. I love coming to work every day and see the smiling faces of each student.
