As an owner of The Kids' Clubhouse, I have spent over twenty years within the after school and summer camp industry. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a Bachelors degree in Communication Studies and Public Relations. My husband, Jackson (that's right... Jack and Jill), and I have been married for eighteen years and have two beautiful little girls and our yellow lab. Over the course of 20 years, I have always been passionate about the enrichment of children’s lives within my community. After running a remote learning facility, I was inspired to explore new and innovative techniques for educating our youth. I am eager to see this vision become a reality.
I am the Student Data Manager at Clubhouse Academy, bringing over a decade of experience in education where I’ve served in roles spanning technology, finance, coaching, and administration. Beyond my work in schools, I have successfully operated a real estate firm for more than ten years, which has sharpened my skills in business operations, client relations, and financial management. I also served as CEO of a thriving home product company and worked as a national territory manager, experiences that developed my strengths in leadership, sales, and strategic growth.
Outside of work, I’ve been married to my wife, Natalie, for 15 years, and we have two wonderful daughters, ages 12 and 10. They keep me grounded and are a constant reminder of why I’m passionate about supporting students and families at Clubhouse Academy.
My name is Kelsey Koontz, and I am so excited to be teaching 6th grade this year! I have so many fun things planned and can’t wait to share them with you! I graduated from the University of Wilmington and love going back to the beach to visit. I also have state education training in Edtpa and Letrs. Some of my favorite things to do are spend time with my family, paint, read, and go to Florida.
I am Patti Hricinak-Sheets. I moved to NC from the Seattle, WA area in 1995 with my husband, son, and daughter with an AA degree in Visual Arts from Northwest College of Art, with a special interest in Art History.
Education:
- Degree in Art History and graphic design Northwest College of Art , Poulsbo, WA.
- Attended Long Beach Museum of Art for watercolor study, San Diego CA.
- Attended Philadelphia Murals Project Training, Phila. PA
- Studied under Barnaby Fitzgerald Fresco Painter from Rome Italy
- Years of self-taught in workshops under various artists
Teaching: As owner and instructor at The Gray Wing Studio in Walkertown, I taught over 150 home educated students annually for 10 years. Summer Art camps overflowed with students from all over the Triad. Under the direction of Global Next Ministries, I escorted select groups of qualifying high school
students to Christian Leadership Conferences in France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Ireland, Holland, Greece and Israel. Leading a drawing project in Poland focused on Auschwitz is a memory I hold dear. It is on these travels and firsthand experiences I developed “Hands On Art History” curriculum. The
accomplishment most dear to this artist’s art is the large number of students who came to my teaching studio their entire 12 years of schooling. During COVID I attempted to teach online. I found what was missing for me was the hands on. I retired for 6 years so I could be available to watch my new grandchildren. During that time I kept a few students in my home studio. I am ready to get back out and share the Art History experience that is dear to my heart. I am very busy with freelance commission work but find I miss the inspiration gained when teaching what I know.
