Hi! My name is Amanda Klinkman and I am so excited to be working with you and your student. I have been a special education teacher for the last 8 years. My career started in my home state of Michigan, where I earned a B.S. and M.A in special education from Eastern Michigan University. I have had the pleasure of teaching special education in a variety of places. I taught for 3 years in Michigan and 2 in North Carolina. I am now entering my 4th year working at Covington in Los Altos. I feel so lucky to have found a place to work like the Los Altos School District. The staff and students here place a strong importance on providing opportunities for all. On most weekends, my husband and I can be found hiking, skiing, camping, and exploring nature. We are now enjoying the challenge of figuring out how to do all of that with a new baby boy, Nolan, in tow.
