Cloey is a teacher at Riverside Middle School within the STEM Academy in Watertown, WI. She co-teaches in a dynamic, three-year rotational program where students engage in cross-curricular, teacher-directed, project-based learning. Cloey graduated from UW-Madison in May 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in Education for grades 1-8.

As a UW-Madison alumnus, Cloey was eager to continue her education there. The MSPE program’s interdisciplinary approach and flexibility particularly appealed to her as a new educator. Additionally, the instructional coaching certificate piqued her interest, offering a potential avenue beyond the classroom.
