Kate Silvey is originally from Kingsport, TN and studied English at the University of Alabama before getting her Master’s in Teaching at UVA. She has experience teaching in public school as well as working with children in capacities ranging from summer camps to after-school tutoring. She loves writing, reading, cooking (and eating), befriending every cat she sees, and exploring the Charlottesville area. She is so excited to start her first year helping the Cubs at CDS and getting to know everyone involved in this school community!
