I love the challenge and I love the joy of teaching. Teaching in a Montessori mixed-age classroom is very rewarding as I see the first-year students walk in, with many incredible magical moments along the way, and three years later, I see them exit, confident and knowledgeable, ready, and wanting to explore more. I continue learning each school year, and my students are my lead.

I am a mother of five children, a dog, a bunch of hens, and a friendly rooster named Buddy. I love the outdoors and the water, and you can often find me at Parker River. I love food, eating it, and talking about it!
