Courtney Kirwan
Hi everyone! My name is Courtney Kirwan and this is my fifth year teaching 4th grade at Vail Pittman Elementary School. I was born and raised in Henderson, Nevada and take pride in being a local to this great city. I attended UNLV to earn my Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice and my Masters Degree in Elementary Curriculum and Instruction. When I’m not teaching, I love to be around my fiancé, family and friends, do yoga, be out in nature, travel, go out to eat, and watch my favorite T.V shows. My favorite place to travel is Hawaii where I have visited 7 times!
I became a teacher because I adore working with children and I want to make a difference in our future generations. My goal is to create a safe space in the classroom for students to learn, have fun, and grow academically and personally.
Khivani Young
Hi, my name is Khivani Young, and this is my second year teaching at Pittman, I previously taught 3rd grade! I'm originally from Los Angeles but moved to Dallas,Texas for about 10 years, before moving here to Vegas to finish my Bachelor's in Fine Arts from UNLV and to be closer to family. When I'm not teaching you can find me creating art, whether that is designing new characters or writing! I’m a big concert person, so, if I’m not planning my next trip, I’m spending time with my loved ones or my pets. I have and ES dog, Phineas, and a pet cockatiel, called Pigeon.
I recently completed my MA program in Education, so I’m looking forward to applying my newfound knowledge to the classroom and growing the wonderful and expansive minds of my students this year!
