I have been working with children and their families, from newborns to adolescents, since 2008 in various roles, including director, teacher-child facilitator, and mentor to aspiring educators. I am a certified Outdoor Classroom Specialist with a strong background in both Montessori and Reggio Emilia pedagogy.

I am passionate about inspiring educators to create engaging, child-centered learning environments that foster independence, curiosity, and a love for lifelong learning. I believe that play, exploration, and social-emotional development are crucial to children’s future success, forming the foundation of their most important work—learning about the world around them.

When I’m not leading our school community, my husband and I explore as many National Parks as possible, enjoying fishing and camping. I am honored to serve the families and educators at Montessori Kids Universe.
