Kimberly Odom | Head of Schools
Kimberly began her journey in education over 20 years ago within the special education department. She has worked with kids ranging in ages from preschool through college, focusing on transitional components for students. Kimberly piloted an adult transition program at the local community college that successfully graduated students with an AA degree as well as provided community work opportunities. She came to California Virtual Academies (CAVA) in the fall of 2012 as an education specialist and was most recently the director of special education for all K12-powered California schools. She brings to the table her love for continued education as well as a strong focus on data driven student supports and achievement.
Morgan Vincent | Academic Administrator
I have the privilege of serving as the Academic Administrator for Insight Schools of California, and I am so grateful to be able to work with alongside the most wonderful students, families, and educators! I first became a teacher in 2008 and joined the Insight Schools family in 2014. I have held multiple positions here at Insight, including teaching and leadership roles, and have developed a true passion for working with this unique population. I have a beautiful family, including my wonderful husband and four children, whose ages range from three to eleven years old, and a wide variety of pets. When I’m not working, I love watching my children play sports, dance, and play piano, and I love watching movies and reading. My hope for all of our students is to find a home here at our school, where they feel safe, loved, and accepted, in order to successfully finish high school!

Monique Kroese | HS Lead Teacher (Math, Social Science)
My name is Monique Kroese. I started teaching in 2007, joined the Insight Teaching staff in 2014, and have since become a member of the Leadership Team. Insight is such an amazing school and I am proud to work side-by-side with some of the most amazing teachers and staff! When I am not supporting teachers and students, I enjoy spending time with my family. When we aren’t at the ball field, we are camping, fishing, riding UTVs, or just hanging out together at home.
Brittney Larkin | HS Lead Teacer (English, Science, Electives)
Hi everyone! My name is Brittney Larkin and I am a Content Lead at Insight, overseeing the English, Science, and Elective departments. I have been in education since 2012, having taught Biology, Physics, and Chemistry throughout the years before moving my current administration role in 2021. I have my Master’s degree in Urban Education from Loyola Marymount University and my Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (and having come from the Chicagoland area, I love deep dish pizza and Italian beef sandwiches). As you can tell, I love science! My husband is also a high school Chemistry teacher, so we’re hoping to inspire a love of science in our 6-year-old and 2-year-old daughters as well. I truly enjoy getting to support our fantastic Insight teachers and helping to provide data and resources so that they can focus on providing students with amazing educational experiences.
Jaime Forrest | Lead Trauma & Guidance Counselor
I am the Lead Trauma School Counselor at Insight. I graduated from Fresno State and earned my master’s degree in School Counseling and Counseling Credential from National University. I have been with Insight since 2014 and absolutely love my team, our staff, and our students; our students especially inspire me with their stories of strength and determination! I oversee the Counseling department and part of the RAISE team, including the Academic Growth Advocates, who support students whose grades have fallen behind, and the Student and Family Champion, who provides resources and support to students in a variety of circumstances. I have been married for 22 years and have 3 kids – I love hiking with my husband and any time I can spend with my young adult children is my favorite thing to do!
Holly Rodriguez | ELD Coordinator
Hello! My name is Holly Rodriguez and I am grateful to be the ELD Coordinator at Insight Schools of California. This is my tenth year in education, and I have always been passionate about teaching and building programs for English Learners. After finishing my Teaching Credential program, I knew I wanted to pursue my Master’s Degree with an emphasis on English Learners. I received my Master’s Degree in Education with a specialization in U.S. Education in a Global Context in 2017. Over the years, I have worked with kindergarten through high school students and have had tremendous experience working with English Learners and their families. When I am not working, I love to spend time with my husband and my son. We love to travel, camp, bike ride and hang out at home together.
