Hi! My name is Kristen Perry, and I will be joining St. Susanna as City Connects Site Coordinator. I have a Masters in Social Work from Indiana University and a Bachelor’s in Human Development and Family Studies from Penn State University. I am a Licensed Social Worker and have experience in case management in a variety of settings. I worked in schools as an assistant prior to getting my Masters. I am passionate about teaching emotional regulation and mindfulness. In my free time, I like to travel, hike, and kayak. I enjoy spending time with my husband, Ben, our almost 2 year old goldendoodle Nittany (named after Penn State Nittany Lions), and our cat Blackie. I’m excited to meet and connect with the St. Susanna school community this year and look forward to bringing the City Connects model and collaborating with teachers to support students.
