Hi Tomahawk families!
My name is Kandi Austin, and I’m excited to join Tomahawk Elementary as one of the new Reading Interventionists.
I began my teaching career as a first-grade teacher and enjoyed teaching at that grade level for 8 years. In 2016, I moved into the role of Reading Specialist, and I have loved helping students grow as confident readers ever since.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and learning new things. I’m so happy to be part of the Tomahawk community and to officially become a "Bee!"

Hello Tomahawk parents, guardians, and students! I am so excited to “Bee” joining the Tomahawk family as one of the Reading Interventionists. I currently live in the Lynchburg area with my husband and two daughters. I graduated from the University of Lynchburg and later returned to school to complete my Reading Specialist certification at Longwood University.
I have taught for 17 years in the classroom and 5 years as a Title I Reading teacher. My roles have included teaching 3rd grade and 1st grade before becoming a Reading Specialist. I have loved helping students succeed as readers by providing them with the skills they need to grow in confidence and ability.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading new books, going for runs, baking, and being outdoors. I am thrilled to join the Tomahawk family.
