Hello! Thanks for connecting! You'll find me at Odyssey Multiage Program, where I teach first and second-graders. I've joyfully taught for over 20 years in different places but always some combination of first, second, and third grades. I'm a strong proponent of student-directed learning and the multiage model. My teaching style prioritizes individualization, creating a community of learners, and guiding students towards independence. My educational background includes degrees in Special Education and Montessori Education. 

When not in the classroom, I enjoy reading fiction, baking, hiking, and beach sitting. As a community volunteer, I run the Young People's March for Peace and Kindness and work in the kitchen at BARN. 

"This is the first duty of an educator; to stir up life but leave it free to develop." M. Montessori
