Carol K.
Carol Kato graduated from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, with a double major in Psychology and Diversity Studies. During her time in school, she worked as a tutor and mentor to grade school children aged 4 to 13. Carol has a passion for understanding how the human brain develops, which has sparked her interest in how children retain information through play and storytelling. She has worked with children from diverse backgrounds and cultures and speaks three languages: English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Carol knows that many children struggle with certain subjects not because they are incapable of understanding the information, but because that information sometimes needs to be broken down step by step, in a playful manner, to improve memory retention and understanding.
In addition to her work with children, Carol loves shopping, traveling, eating, drinking tea, and spending time with her friends and family. Her family consists of her husband, their 3-year-old son, and their beloved dogs, Tina and Brady.
