"The satisfaction which they find in their work has given them a grace and ease like that which comes from music.” -Maria Montessori
 
I am continually amazed to see how children of this age have a true curiosity for everything. I find it such a gift to see them learn from the Montessori materials in such an organic way. I love the practicality that education through Montessori is completely individualized since no two children are the same or learn in the same way. As a Montessori teacher it is my mission to create an environment where the children feel recognized, respected, and valued. I am passionate about empowering the children in becoming independent members of the classroom as well as to stoke the flame that is their natural love of learning.
 
I live in San Clemente with my partner, where you can often find us going to the beach with our dog, Luther. I love to spend my free time camping at our national parks, driving to Mexico, traveling overseas, and practicing yoga.
