Kelly Rudy
DeRidder
Summary
I am an experienced educator with nearly two decades in the classroom, where communication, organization, and relationship-building have been at the center of everything I do. Over the years, I’ve worked closely with students, families, staff, and administrators,
I’m ready to step into a role where I can use those strengths on a larger scale—supporting district communication, helping coordinate testing, and making sure information is clear, accurate, and accessible to the community.
