Kalei Sabaratnam

Kalei Sabaratnam is a fourth year (whoop!!) student at Hampshire College. She studies Educational Reform &amp; Policy and Elementary Education. She hopes to be an upper grade (4, 5, 6) teacher in the very near future. She intends on teaching for several years before seeking administrative positions in educational settings. She's a major fan of Geoffrey Canada's work in Harlem as well as the KIPP reform project. On the side, Kalei eagerly studies popular culture and the mass media as it relates to the construction of race in young kids.

Kalei has spent her time at Hampshire serving dutifully on the Committee on Community Activities as well as taking many off campus classes, baking for various school offices, and enjoying the snow. Scrapbooking, party planning, and decorating her mod are also folded into her repetoire of Hampshire experiences.

Though she's originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, and raised in the suburbs (Davidson, North Carolina), Nascar is not her favorite southern tradition; she is a fan of the University of North Carolina.

You can contact Kalei via her Hampshire email: ks07@hampshire.edu. She'd be happy to send you an email, make you a playlist, or a batch of cookies.
