As a child, my choice of play would lead one to believe that I was destined to be a teacher. However, my artist heart led me to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography. While I have no regrets about this choice, another itch in my heart guided me to pursue Montessori education and it is as if it was always meant to be!
After making the decision to shift my life/career path, the stars seemed to align and confirm that Montessori is my true calling. The stars continued to align when I met Dr. and Mrs. Sippel who so tenderly welcomed me to San Tan, first as an assistant in the new Montessori Elementary classroom, then as a lead for the past 9 years, less a year for maternity leave. Even while on maternity leave, I continued to be part of this wonderful community I hold so dear.
I have found my “Cosmic Task” in being a Montessori educator and hold great hope for the future lead by children who grow in this methodology.
