I’m Kiara Smith, and I was born and raised in Dallas, Tx. I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in 2021 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development and Family Studies, Magna Cum Laude. This is my second year at Red Oak Elementary, and I'm excited to continue to grow in this profession. I look forward to cultivating the minds of tomorrow’s society. My end goal is for each child in my classroom to feel loved, seen, heard, and secure. I also hope that they grow academically, and discover and cultivate their talents and skills.
