Here's A Little About Me
I'm an elementary (1st - 6th grade) credentialed Montessori teacher with 11 years of teaching experience, for a total of 24 years of teaching experience.
I love seeing children's eyes light up when they're experiencing hands-on activities.
After a college study abroad studying wildlife management in Kenya, I worked as a wildlife biologist in Colorado, New York and Cameroon.
Yes, my dream was to be the next Jane Goodall!
I've worked at CGMS (Center for Guided Montessori Studies) since 2017.
As an instructional guide, field consultant and practicum guide, I help adult learners earn their Montessori teaching credentials.
I love to read!
I'm state credentialed to teach middle school and high school biology.
Once upon a time, I was classroom teacher struggling with balancing time prep, family and friends.
Now, I help YOU overcome the overwhelm!
I believe science and nature can bring us true happiness and peace.
When I was young, I wanted to be a veterinarian.
I have two elementary-aged children who inspire the lessons.
I love to travel - Mostly to eat local cuisine!
