Hello, my name is Beth Kingkiner and I began teaching in 2009.  I moved to Ann Arbor 2021. I started teaching in the Ann Arbor Virtual Village in 2021 and I've been enjoying teaching at Wines since 2022. Prior to moving to Michigan, I taught in New Jersey and North Carolina. I've come to education in a roundabout way I earned a  bachelors in finance and an MBA which served me well in the business world. However, I always knew I wanted to teach children so I returned to college to embark on my 2nd career. I earned a Graduate Level Teacher Certification with a focus on literacy from Rider University. Teaching is my passion and I am enjoying my 2nd career more than I ever imagined!  I have 3 grown children with whom I love to spend time. My youngest is attending U-Mich (Go Blue). In my spare time I enjoy hiking, skiing, kayaking, reading, and my fur babies (Lola and Delilah).
