Kristin Kobza
Kristin has a Bachelor of Science in Communication from ASU with an emphasis in organizational communication. Kristin spent her post-graduate years working in the non-profit community, training, and equipping volunteers to work with vulnerable children. This career was dear to her heart and led her down the path of working more directly with children in an educational setting.
She loves her role as a teacher and is blessed by every student she gets to work with! Teaching is a joy, and to be able to teach at a school that is Christ-centered has been a privilege. She can feel the Lord's presence in our school every day.
​
Kristin has been married to her husband Brian for 27 years and is blessed to be the mom of 3 children- Zachary (married to Elizabeth), Lauren, and Emma. Her biggest joy is being with her family just relaxing, laughing, and creating memories!
Austin Greene
Austin Greene is a product and proponent of individualized instruction and attended schools specializing in this method for eight years. He graduated from ASU with a degree in Applied Biological Sciences.
​
Austin has tutored students in math, English, and social studies. He has also taught in a classroom setting, instructing students in math, science, and other subjects here at Ambassador for eight years, and at a school with a comparable learning environment before that.
​
He hopes to bring his significant experience with individual-focused education as both a student and teacher to the table while serving on the board.
