About

Karinne Caisse grew up in the Sierra Tahoe foothills and moved to San Diego in 2012, where she studied Classical Studies and Archaeology at UC San Diego. She loves reading and writing and being outdoors in any way possible -- rock climbing, camping, running, and gardening.

 

As a published author and former freelance editor, Karinne is passionate about helping young people discover their own love for writing. She worked on developing a nonprofit, The Krinkled Page, for several years, building and teaching creative writing workshops for students of all ages. After five years of working with teens in a variety of educational settings, Karinne acquired her teaching credential from High Tech High's Graduate School of Education. She has been honored to serve as the 7th grade Humanities teacher at Elevate since 2021.
