Kajsa Warren is passionate about creating a safe, peaceful, and fun learning environment. Through her teaching and presence in the classroom, she hopes that children know they are seen, loved, and known by Jesus. Kajsa first fell in love with teaching when she began working with youth in elementary schools on the Eastside where she was able to form great relationships and see what a big impact she could make as an educator. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in History and Scandinavian Area Studies, which included courses in education. Arrow is so thankful for Kajsa’s several years of serving on our team and excited for her completion in June 2020 of her Master’s in Education from Seattle Pacific University. She loves coffee and the beach (especially the fresh salty air), rain and shine, mindful time with God, being with family and her husband Leif.
