Kylie Rafter
Graduate Studies and Research Committee Representative (M.Ed)
EGSS
Education
Hello everyone! My name is Kylie Rafter, and I am in my first year of the Master of Education program. I’ve been a teacher for the past six years, but I’m thrilled to be back as a Gael after completing my undergraduate degree here. After finishing my BEd at Trent University, I returned to Queen’s for my Professional Master of Education while continuing to teach. My academic interests focus on literacy development and supporting students with exceptionalities, which has been at the heart of my teaching practice and continues to guide my research. Outside of academia, you can usually find me spending time with my husband and our very lovable golden doodle, Sully. I’m looking forward to a year of learning, collaboration, and connecting with both faculty and students!
