For the past eleven years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as Principal at Thurgood Marshall Elementary—a Title I and Highly Capable Pathway school with a beautifully diverse community. Our school included several intensive special education programs, a large multilingual student population, and a thriving HC cohort. Before that, I was Principal and Director of Student Services at the Seattle Hebrew Academy, and I began my career as a school counselor in the Federal Way School District. Each of these roles has shaped my approach as an educator, and I’m excited to bring that experience to Coe as we continue to grow together.

I have been teaching at Coe since 2010. I attended Western Washington University where I studied Special and Elementary Education. I have a Masters in Literacy from SPU. I live in the Broadview neighborhood of Seattle with my husband Conor, daughter Sloane, son Silas, two cats, and a dog. My favorite part about teaching is seeing students set goals and celebrate their success as learners. Outside of school I enjoy cooking, traveling, biking, hiking, and spending time with family and friends.

My name is Steven McGregor and I'm happy to be teaching second grade at Coe!  I am a Northwest native who grew up in Renton, Washington. I attended Western Washington University in Bellingham, where in 1999 I received my B.A. in Political Science, Economics, and Philosophy. After graduating and moving back to Seattle, I worked for several years in non-profit healthcare administration. In 2007, I decided to change course in my career and I enrolled in the master's program at Antioch University. I earned a Master of Education degree in 2008.   Prior to teaching first and second grades at Coe, I taught kindergarten for four years at Schmitz Park in West Seattle. I currently live in Magnolia with my husband and our three Portuguese Water Dogs, Kona, Indie, and London.

I am so happy to be at Coe. I first came to Coe in 2009 when my oldest child was in kindergarten. Since then all three of my children have gone though and graduated from Coe.  While my youngest was at Coe I began working as a tutor and later became an Instructional Assistant. I love working with students in K - 5th grade, and am incredibly lucky to work with an amazing staff and administration here at Coe. I am originally from San Francisco but have lived in Seattle for 16 years and love the Pacific Northwest. When I am not working I love spending time with my family and my two dogs.

My name is Kieran Mehta, lots of students call me Ms. M, and I am excited to be a part of the Coe community for my fourth year of teaching at Seattle Public Schools. 

After growing up in Minnesota, I moved to Seattle for the University of Washington where I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood and Family Studies and my Master’s in Teaching. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work in many different elementary schools across Seattle and  I am really excited to grow as a teacher with the Coe community and learn from the very experienced educators at this school. 

Outside of school, I love to hang out with my partner, do various outdoor activities like climbing, hiking, and camping, and I love to read and paint. 

I began teaching in the Seattle School District in 1998. I love teaching elementary school.  I feel especially lucky to be working in the Coe community. My interests outside of teaching include sports and outdoor activities, landscape painting, and travel.

I have progressive experience as an Assistant Principal in Illinois, my home state, Arizona, and Washington since 2018. I am committed to educational excellence for every student and strive to ensure equity, access, and opportunity for all. Prior to becoming an administrator, I was a classroom teacher for 5th and 3rd grade for seven years and loved my time in the classroom.

I am committed to educational excellence for every student and strive to ensure equity, access, and opportunity for all. I am excited to continue my educational career at Coe Elementary and recognize the impact of the community on the school and the school’s effect on the community. I look forward to learning and working with the families, teachers, staff and community at Coe Elementary.

I have been a part of the Coe community for over 10 years - as a parent, a volunteer, and now as an Instructional Assistant in the Resource Room. I was born and raised on the East coast and received my Bachelor of Arts in English from Boston College. I’ve called Seattle and Queen Anne home since 2003. I have tremendous respect and admiration for the Coe staff and love our amazing students and families. When I’m not at Coe, you can find me at kid activities for my son, Ryan and daughter, Jordan – or, walking my dog, Sailor. I look forward to continuing to give back to Coe, who has given so very much to me and my family over the years.

My name is Madison Russell and I am looking forward to another year here at Coe! After receiving my degree in Elementary Education from Seattle Pacific University, I taught English in Italy and spent some time traveling. Upon arriving back in Seattle in 2019, I began teaching third grade at Coe. Since then I have also received my Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Governors University. My favorite part of teaching is watching students become passionate about new topics and exceed their own expectations. When I’m not in the classroom you can find me gardening, reading in the corner of a coffee shop, or out on walks taking in the scenery.
