As an ESE Department Head and Mathematics Educator, Kim Duran brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our K2 Escape Board Members.
Born in South Korea, Kim came to the US in 1980 when she was adopted. She graduated high school in the states and went on to receive her BA in Psychology from the University of Michigan, as well as her Masters in Social Work. For the last 26 years, Kim has dedicated herself to public service beginning as a school social worker in Kalamazoo, Michigan. After leaving the school she began working as a Non-profit Kinship Coordinator before eventually moving into protective social work. In 2005 she returned to social work in the school system, at Hillsborough County Public Schools, working with students with severe behavioral/emotional and mental health disorders. She remained there until 2012 when she moved into a position as an ESE Math teacher, teaching students in both middle school and high school. In 2018 she was named ESE Department Head and remains as such while also teaching Geometry and Algebra to her beloved ESE students.
We are so excited to draw from Kim’s passion for teaching, experience in her field, and deep enthusiasm for supporting others in their journey to thrive.
