Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
Hi! I’m Mrs. Murphy. I graduated from Harvard in 2018 with a degree in education. I’m currently working on a Master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University in mathematics education. I’ve been teaching for six years- three at Greenwood High School in Mississippi and three at Pace Center for Girls in Pensacola, Florida. I was awarded Mississippi teacher of the Year in 2020 and nominated for Alternative School Teacher of the Year in 2023. I married my husband in 2021, and July 2023 I welcomed my daughter Melody and took some time off to be a new mom. I am looking forward to sharing my expertise in college admissions, mathematics, and history. I am fully licensed 6-12 in both subjects. ( I applied and gained admission to twelve schools including Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, and Brown.) To read my story, google "Kimberly Sanford" and "The Atlantic."
