I earned my Montessori Early Childhood teaching credential in 2004 and have taught in several schools as a primary lead teacher. However, my Montessori experience began long before that – I was a Montessori child myself. Teaching children is a passion, and I believe it is my calling.

I left teaching temporarily to complete my bachelor’s degree in psychology and human development with a minor in elementary education, then extended the break from teaching to begin raising my daughter in late 2014. Expanding my formal education and becoming a mother have aided in my personal growth and benefits my teaching and relationships with parents. As a dancer and a traveler, I enjoy incorporating world culture, music, and dance into my classrooms. Bringing in culturally rich experiences from my own travels and encouraging children to be active has always felt natural and necessary. I also make it a priority to teach children about the environment and spend time outdoors. Not only do I love it, but so do they. Above all, it is my goal to instill a joy for learning in every child.
