Caroline Mooney
I have been Associate Teacher in Red Room since 2020, and before that I worked as a Child Care Aide in the Yellow Room. I have a Master of Science degree in Education with a concentration in Teaching Literacy and Language from Purdue Global. My undergraduate degree is a B.A. in journalism from Purdue. I began my career as managing editor of a newspaper until I left to stay home and raise three daughters. I then worked as a paraprofessional at an elementary school helping a child with a disability through his day, and tutoring students in need of one-on-one help. I went on to work as a Title I teacher, librarian, and computer lab teacher. I find great joy in working with children and watching their self-esteem grow as they learn new things.
In my free time, I love spending time with my husband and our grown daughters who now live locally, in Ohio and Colorado. I enjoy running with friends, entering 5K and half-marathon races across the state.
