About Me
Montessori Background

Postition
I came to Montessori as a parent. I was looking for a school for my first child and after extensive research, decided on a Montessori education for my daughter.
​
After teaching in a traditional public high school, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to make an impact at the foundational level and I wanted to learn more about Montessori. I started as a volunteer and substitute teacher at my children's school and eventually completed my elementary training.
