Carol Franklin is a dedicated educator with a burning passion for the pursuit of knowledge and uplifting everyone she encounters. She is an advocate of individuality, self-expression, and collaboration. Growing up, she felt connected to the character Ms. Frizzle on the show, "The Magic School Bus," displaying an unfaltering happy-go-lucky, optimistic attitude in her pursuit of understanding the world around her. Now, she hopes to stimulate student curiosity and provide her students with a life-long mentor and friend, displaying respect for students’ choices and excitement for their futures. Her ultimate goal as an educator is to ensure every student knows that they have a purpose in this world, to give them a comfortable space to discover what that purpose may be, and to provide support in getting to that place. Carol has her BS in Biochemistry, Summa Cum Laude, from Regis University in Denver, Colorado. In her free time, she enjoys absorbing the serenity of the outdoors, volunteering, tutoring peers, and playing games, including board games, Dungeons and Dragons, and disc-golf.
