Superpower: Accelerating reading skills and fostering independence in our little students
I love to see children develop confidence and independence. It fills my cup to see them become self-starters and develop a love for learning, especially reading. I started Village Montessori in my home in Baxter Village for my own children in 2013. My goal in expanding to serve the community was to create an environment with loving teachers where all children would learn and thrive and become well-prepared for kindergarten. I also have a son from Haiti through my non-profit work in the southwest region of Haiti and I am enjoying helping him develop into a productive citizen of our great United States.
Originally from Wisconsin, I attended college in Florida, graduated and was commissioned as a US Army Officer. I spent several years at Fort Bragg and have held roles as a financial advisor and continuous improvement manager.
My husband, Toby and I love going to work at Village Montessori each day. He was a Montessori kid himself. A perfect day for our family is time together on the water, sailing, surfing, and wake boarding or taking our dogs for a hike on the beautiful Baxter trails. We are a faith-filled family and we welcome all religions and nationalities.
