Katherine Muniz

Known as Mrs. K, Professor K has been teaching since 2011, covering every grade level from preschool to college. With a BA in Psychology from FIU, she initially planned to be a psychologist but discovered her passion for teaching while working as an elementary teacher in Nicaragua.

Transitioning to high school, she developed a love for teaching English literature, ultimately earning an MA in English while juggling a full-time teaching job and raising two young children. Since 2015, she’s focused on empowering students to take ownership of their education, using student-centered and innovative teaching methods.

Professor K’s favorite moments are when students realize their potential, and she’s unafraid to challenge them to reach new heights. Expect a mix of motivation, tough love, and the occasional scolding in Spanish!
