ABOUT ME
WHAT IS THE LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER?
Mrs. Camat
Teacher, Soccer Coach, Disney-lover
My name is Kristin Camat and I was born and raised in Corvallis, Oregon. Go Beavers!!!! When it came time to go to college however, I was ready for a change so I packed up and headed to sunny San Luis Obispo, California. There I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I worked with emotionally disturbed youth in the community for 3 years before going back to school to get my Master’s of Education. Gervais was my first and only interview. After talking with the fabulous Ann O’Connell, our former Principal, I knew this was the place for me. I am on my tenth year in the district. I am also the Girls Soccer assistant coach at the high school. I am excited to see what the future has in store.
