Kristelle Baranada
Instructional Assistant
Kristelle completed her BA degree in Psychology at Mount Royal University in 2012. After graduating, she gained employment as an early interventionist working for a non-profit organization. She notes that “the job was a real eye opener for me and helped me decide which field to choose for my career.”
Interested in broadening her experience, she transitioned into working with youth in 2017. She worked as a behavior therapist at a non-profit agency that provided out-of-home placement for youth with disabilities. She later accepted an assignment with the same agency as a school therapist. Working in collaboration with the Calgary Board of Education, she assisting students achieve their goals in the school setting.
May 2023 marked a new chapter of her journey when she joining the Third Schools’ family. Currently assigned to the Junior High 1 classroom at Third Academy, she works with adolescents in grades 8 and 9. She finds that each day presents new challenges, making the experience remarkably fulfilling. She welcomes the opportunity to learn more, expand her knowledge, and form meaningful relationships with Third Academy students, parents, and colleagues.
Outside of work, Kristelle treasures the opportunity to spend time with her friends and family. She loves exploring the outdoors with her husband and son, as well as discovering new coffee shops and restaurants in and around Calgary with her friends.
