Michelle Gensler, Magnet Coordinator/Instructional Facilitator

I have worked at Kingswood for 16 years. I am originally from Ohio, but I also lived in Las Vegas for 5 years before moving to Cary in 1995. My education degree is from THE Ohio State University- Go Bucks! I enjoy watching sports, shopping, and going to the beach. My very first teaching experience was at a public Montessori school in Columbus, Ohio.

Amy Liu, ESL

“Ni Hao” Kingswood Families! (“Ni Hao” is “Hello!” in Mandarin Chinese.) My name is Ms. Liu and I am looking forward to an exciting year with the students! This will be my 21st year teaching at Kingswood (19 years as music teacher and 2 years as ESL teacher). I am originally from Taiwan and was an ESL student when I came to the U.S. in 5th grade. I graduated from UNC-Greensboro (piano performance), University of Illinois (music education), and received ESL certification from NCSU. I enjoy playing the piano and the flute, traveling, and taking walks with my dog, Piper. I am excited for this school year to begin!

Disfruto tocar el piano y la flauta, viajar y pasear con mi perro, Piper. ¡Estoy emocionado de que comience este año escolar!

I am excited to be at Kingwood for my third year! I have been in Wake County several years as a classroom teacher and parent. My husband and I have two young adults that graduated from Wake County schools. We also have several pets running around the house creating havoc. Kingswood Elementary is a wonderful school, and I look forward to working with your children.

Meg Shuman, AIG

I am thrilled to be the new AIG teacher here at Kingswood. I have 11 years previous experience teaching Gifted Education in the Charlotte area, but I love teaching and interacting with ALL children! My husband and I just recently relocated to Wake County to be closer to our family. We have 3 adult children--one of whom is a teacher here in Wake County--and 5 grandchildren. We also have a VERY lovable Golden Retriever. Family is important to us and I enjoy spending time with my grandkids anywhere there is water--the beach, the lake and even the pool!
