My Bio

This is going to be my 6th year here at San Tan as a Montessori Assistant.  I started out in Preschool classroom and moved my way to Lower Elementary which will be my 4th year in our Saguaro classroom. During those times, I have received my Assistant certifications for Primary and Lower Elementary. I have a son who has been a Roadrunner since 3rd grade. He will be in the 8th grade.

I have been in Montessori Education since he was a toddler. Previously, I have been an assistant in other Montessori schools working with toddlers and Primary for 8 years helping them grow independently in a prepared learning environment.

I grew up in Midwest City, OK but later decided to move out to Arizona for new adventures and met my husband. I immediately fell in love with the beautiful sunsets and the mountains!  Moving out here was when I took an interest in Montessori Philosophy while learning it from my sister-in-law.

I love being around kids and am passionate about learning. I strive to model respect, patience, and care for both children and adults I come in contact with.
