Kim Harmon is an Education Specialist with a passion for culturally responsive, compassion-rooted anti-racist education, the performing arts, language in all its forms (including mathematics!), and the exploration of student voice. Since 2010, Kim has had the privilege of working with a beautifully diverse body of students, educators, and community members, whether it is in San Francisco, the Bronx, South Central LA, or Ramallah, Palestine. Most recently she has been engaged in projects with USC Center for Affective Neuroscience in Developmental Learning and Education that align emotional relevance with classroom practices to support adolescents in developing transcendent thinking.
When not teaching, she travels everywhere she can to taste absolutely every kind of food. Ask her about the glory of a banh mi sandwich or the impact of urban food-deserts and get ready for a two-hour conversation in either case! Kim has been excited and humbled to contribute to the exceptional team at Da Vinci RISE High, now RISE Above, since 2020.
