Brooklyn Intermediate’s Lisa Kubinski (formally known as Miss Krall) has been chosen to be the center of attention for this week’s staff spotlight.
We asked Mrs. Kubinski a few questions to get to know her on a more personal level.
Q.) Where did you go to college, and why did you decide to go there?
A.) “John Carroll University – I loved that it had excellent reviews for my major (psychology). It was a small campus setting, and it was beautiful!”
Q.) If you had the choice, what would be the ideal grade level to teach?
A.) “I would love to teach multi-grade levels in the S.T.E.M. program.”
Q.) Was teaching your first career choice?
A.) “I changed careers (and went back to college later) to become a teacher. I originally worked for non-profits specializing in children with special needs. I currently hold an administrator’s license and might find myself as a principal or assistant principal one day.”
Q.) Where did you grow up, and where were you born?
A.) “Born in Cleveland and I grew up in Parma Heights.”
Q.) What was your biggest setback during your teaching career?
A.) “I cannot think of anything that sets me back. I have been very lucky to always be part of awesome teaching teams.”
Q.) What activities did you participate in during high school?
A.) “Name a committee and I was part of it. I did marching band (not a class), regular band, orchestra, choir, I was co-captain of the swim team senior year, musicals, theatre, campus ministry (I went to Padua), retreats, prom committee, etc.”
Q.) What hobbies are you interested in when you are not teaching?
A.) “[I enjoy] running, working out, biking, fostering kittens, crocheting, traveling, and hiking.”
It was a nice chance to catch up and reconnect with Mrs. Kubinski, who we knew as Miss Krall, our 7th grade science teacher. We all hope for the best as she continues in her teaching career here at the BCSD.
