Dr. Kari Koshiol (she/her), Assistant Director

When Kari was teaching high school English, the principal of the school was always telling people to read Springtide’s belonging research. So once Kari finished her doctorate in Curriculum, Instruction, and the Science of Learning from the University at Buffalo (NY), in which she focused her research on creating classroom environments that foster belonging and autonomy, she joined the Springtide team. Kari focuses on managing internal initiatives and projects for custom research clients. Her favorite part of the job is conducting and presenting research that helps adults better understand young people and gives young people the resources they need to grow as humans.

Kari’s favorite pastimes include being active outdoors with her husband, curling up on a comfy chair reading just about any novel she can find, or birthday shopping for one of her 12 nieces and nephews.
