Administration

I have been a part the Whole Earth Montessori community since 2006, initially teaching in various Early Childhood classrooms before assuming the role of Program Director. My journey at WEM has been driven by a passion for child development, ensuring that every child’s social, emotional, and cognitive needs are met within our school community. As Program Director, I am committed to upholding the Montessori philosophy while aligning with WEM’s vision, mission, and goals.

My credentials include certification as an AMS Early Childhood educator, complemented by a Graduate degree in English Literature, and Undergraduate degrees in Mass Communication and Psychology. Beyond the classroom, I like exploring the beautiful trails of the Pacific Northwest through hiking, I enjoy watching movies and getting lost in a  good book. I love traveling around the world, to immerse in different cultures and cherish moments with my family.

Settled in Redmond with my husband, I proudly reflect on my children’s Montessori education journey. Both are now grown and pursuing their paths; my son delves into digital social media research for his PhD, aspiring to enact positive change, while my daughter innovates in wearable technology, seeking creative solutions for a better world.
