Summary

My name is Kalista Thain, I am 25 years old, and I have a degree in Education. I have taught in the school systems for three years, but am interested in exploring my options outside of the typical classroom setting. I believe that my natural ability to lead and my experiences thus far open many opportunities for me; whether it be in a classroom or corporate setting. I enjoy working with people and helping others succeed.
