Kyoko Nagayasu

Peace Guide- Beacon Academy

Kyoko brings a background in civil court mediation and youth restorative conflict coaching to her work with students. She believes deeply that “students do well if they can,” the philosophy of the Collaborative Problem Solving approach she’s trained in. This is her second school year at Beacon and she’s excited to be back! 

When she’s not working, Kyoko is probably in the pool. As a member of USA Swimming and U.S. Masters Swimming, she also volunteers to help adults learn to swim - because it’s never too late to discover your inner fish, in the land of 10,000 lakes.
