I am so excited to be your child’s Montessori teacher this school year. I look forward to getting to know your child and guiding him/her to greater independence through lots of hands-on learning experiences. I started teaching in 1995 and have taught Pre-K, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and special education. I fell in love with the Montessori philosophy while visiting a Montessori school in 2014. I was so inspired that I immediately enrolled in a Montessori teacher training program. I have been teaching in a Montessori setting ever since! As I will be getting to know your child, I will also let you get to know me too! I currently live in Lake Wylie, SC with my husband and three children. I love animals and have 3 dogs, a canary, and eleven chickens! I also love gardening and am so happy to have two beautiful raised garden beds for our class that were built for us two years ago by a wonderful volunteer. I also love running, swimming, and biking, and at any given time may be training for a triathlon, half-marathon or marathon! I am looking forward to a great year. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any concerns or questions that you may have.
