The Women’s Center is excited to welcome our new Graduate Assistant for the 2014-2015 year, Kinsey Lee Walker. Kinsey is originally from South Charleston, West Virginia.  Kinsey studied Philosophy and English with a particular focus on application to modern race theory at The College of Wooster in Ohio. Before coming to Vanderbilt, Kinsey was a kindergarten – 1^st grade teacher and middle school basketball coach in Hazlehurst, Mississippi through Teach for America and taking on a role for recruiting HBCU and local undergraduates from Mississippi into TFA.  As a teacher, her focus was on family friendly classrooms and relationship building, which was crucial for spreading positive school culture in a small town atmosphere.  Her current interests in working with the Women’s Center include women in leadership opportunities, working with female athletics, and building relationships across campus for students with families so that they feel  welcome at Vanderbilt.
