About Ann Kuge

 

Ann Kuge joined the ISOK team in 2021. She is a Southern California native. She is a MSW graduate of USC’s Suzanne Dworak-Peck’s School of Social Work with a concentration in children, youth, and families. Ann’s journey into the world of education began more than a decade ago when she left her career in banking and finance to follow her heart. She became a mentor and gang prevention counselor for at-risk youth at a continuation high school in Los Angeles while earning her degree in English. It was there that she fell in love with the kids and left with the inspiration to become a teacher. She is excited about joining the ISOK family and learning from her colleagues because she knows it takes a village of nurturing and relentless individuals to create optimal conditions for academic and personal growth in the students and community served.
