Her career in education has been diverse and exciting. She received her Master’s degree in administration from Utah State University in 2004. This work put her on a path to lead schools with ground breaking and holistic value-based approaches to education.
Kenna was part of a five-year pilot program named Accelerated Student Achievement Project (ASAP). During the five years she observed and evaluated 100’s of teachers in schools across the nation.

Her work to improve the culture inside schools has been recognized both nationally and internationally.
It is her vision and passion to change the face of education one school at a time by inspiring teachers, empowering leaders, and engaging scholars. In 2015, she stepped away from a successful superintendent-ship to serve school communities on a level that in unmatched thus far in the educational system.
