Hi! my name is Kristen Garbarini and I teach Freshman Science at MVHS. This is my first year teaching at the high school level, but I have been teaching at the middle school for over 19 years!
When I first went to college, like a lot of other people, I was unsure of what I wanted to do. I finally decided on Education but also didn’t want to give up my dream of becoming a Marine Biologist! I double majored and earned a degree in both! I had several jobs in the field of Marine Biology working with lobster, copepods and even sea turtles, but eventually settled in at a teaching job. I have not looked back since!
A few years ago, I decided to go back to school and earned my Masters in Science Education! I still get to pursue my love of the ocean by scuba diving! I have been lucky enough to dive in the Caribbean several times, as well as along the coast of Maine! I definitely prefer the much warmer and more colorful waters of the Caribbean!!!
Outside of school, I love to spend time with my husband and two children. We are a very active family and can always find something to do outside! We enjoy hiking, canoeing/kayaking, fishing and playing all types of sports.
If you ever have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would love to hear from you!
