Shawn Kiehn, Sr. Educational Partnerships Consultant
Shawn is “Wyomingite” at heart, and that is where he started teaching and coaching, after graduating from the University of Wyoming with his multiple-subject teaching credential and B.A. in Spanish. He taught in Wyoming for 2 years, then for 12 years in Visalia, California, where he currently resides. After spending 14 years teaching, he started working with educational technology, joining the Greenfield Learning team, where he has been for over 20 years! He has a passion for helping students and staff succeed in all their educational endeavors.
Born in Colorado and raised in Colorado and Wyoming, he is a true Rocky Mountain boy, but he has an international flavor with a beautiful wife and daughter from Cali, Colombia! He has backpacked the continental divide and, together, they have been to Costa Rica, Colombia, Italy and France, and traveled much of the U.S., and simply love to travel and visit new places. He enjoys singing, going to movies, reading, and spending time with his family, as well keeping up with his “customers,” many of whom he considers as colleagues and friends! As they say in Costa Rica – “Pura Vida!”
