Board of Directors

Katie Berman, Board Member

Katie is a community and public education advocate who lives in Southeast Seattle with two kids in Seattle Public Schools. For the last six years she has been advocating for much-needed resources for public schools, including organizing community gatherings, letter-writing campaigns and moderating forums with State Legislators on issues related to student mental health, language access, family supports, transportation, special education services and student nutrition. She has a background in public administration and program evaluation, both in the public and non-profit sectors, and brings her love of data, spreadsheets, and writing to the Space Between Board. She also became a certified yoga instructor in 2010 and has since enjoyed teaching various styles of yoga. She is so grateful for meditation, breath work, and other mindfulness practices that have helped her find more balance and nurture more compassion and joy in her own life, and she is passionate about providing ALL kids the tools to self-regulate and find more calm in their own lives. Katie loves writing, long walks in the woods, and learning aerial circus arts like trapeze, lyra and silks.

Jasmine Covey, Board Chair

Ten years ago, Jasmine Covey began practicing meditation, and in the last few years, she has started practicing Qi Gong (a mindful movement practice). She is now a certified meditation instructor and is working on her Qi Gong certification from Lee Holden. Jasmine teaches workshops at Elevate 47 Degrees North in Cle Elum and publishes online through the Insight Timer App. She also has over 10 years of experience working in Organizational Change Management and Training at Costco Corporate, and she brings the organizational and business skills she’s developed there to the board. Since practicing meditation, she has found that her everyday life has flourished with increased energy, compassion, a sense of authenticity, and of greater wholeness. Deeply passionate about the benefits of meditation/mindfulness, she is dedicated to spreading mindfulness education to students and educators.

William Gutierrez Depusoy, Board Member

Wil Depusoy started teaching 30 years ago and has been at Dunlap Elementary, Seattle, for the last 24 years. He came back to raise his family in the same neighborhood where he spent his younger years, and where his classroom is now. He received a Masters In Teaching and his bachelors at The Evergreen State College, where experiential learning experiences there continue to influence his teaching practice. Born in the Philippines, his family migrated to the U.S. when he was 1, so he often shares common experiences with the students he works with. His other work experiences include selling hotdogs in the Kingdome, and driving tanks as well as Seattle tour vans in the summer. Besides being a news junkie in his off-time, he likes to put on comfortable shoes, step outside and “urban ranger” around South Seattle.

His first foray into mindfulness was practicing Tai Chi (because he couldn’t sit still back then) and is still trying to perfect his Yang long-form. He finally gained the capacity to sit still recently and now has 9,000+ minutes on one meditation app. Thinking it would even be harder to get 4th graders to do the same thing, he was wary about introducing mindfulness into his class until working with Space Between. Now, after building his own capacity to teach it, he now feels that mindfulness can become normalized into another hygiene practice, just like brushing teeth, a much needed one at that in these times!

Kristen Diamond, Board Member

Kristen Diamond feels lucky to have been introduced to mindfulness and yoga at an early age through her public education in Seattle Washington. Ever since, she has practiced daily and went on to become a certified yoga teacher to serve resource strained families and broaden the access of the ancient practice.

Professionally, for the past decade and a half Kristen has been an advocate for equity in K12 education leading various marketing teams for technology products that broaden the reach of essential curriculum and support for students.

She is delighted to be a part of a board that aligns with her desire to expand mindfulness and education to the hearts and minds of our youth.

Sara Kelly, Board Secretary

Sara Kelly credits her yoga and meditation practice as a major element of balance in her life. She wears many hats - educator to her 2 sons, catering server, real estate investor, and student of the world. She strongly believes that the work of Space Between with children and educators will make our world a calmer and kinder place, one person at a time.
