I am a native of northeastern Michigan and my husband Keith and I moved
to Traverse City in 2002. We love the natural beauty and opportunities of
the region, and enjoy hiking, camping, gardening, working on our 100+ year
old home, and keeping busy with our Weimaraner, Mission. Most of all we
love being parents. Our son, Jesse, was born February 2006 and we are
excited to raise him in such a wonderful community.
I have a B.A. in Outdoor & Environmental Education, with a Biology
minor, from CMU, and a B.S./Integrated Teaching Major in General Science and
Elementary Education from MSU. I’m also currently working towards my Masters
in Curriculum and Teaching from MSU as well.
I joined the TCAPS Montessori program in 2003 as the Toddler Montessori
Program Coordinator/Director. For the past three years, I have loved
learning with and guiding Lower Elementary students. I've trained in
Detroit and Rochester Hills for Montessori education and my American
Montessori Society Elementary I Certificate.
As a teacher, guide, and lifelong learner, I believe in the dignity and
potential of each individual and the power of that belief to help us grow.
Please be assured that I am honored to be a part of your child’s elementary
years, as a committed guide in a positive and nurturing Montessori
environment that encourages children to live in harmony with others while
developing their unique selves.
