My Bio
Hello! I am delighted to join the San Tan family as Lead Kinder Montessori teacher. I was born and raised in Montana and attended Montessori schools growing up. I earned my B.A. from The University of Texas at Dallas in Art and Performance, learning about arts and cultures from all over the world and training as a classical vocalist, violinist, and visual artist. I studied abroad in Germany for my final semester and then spent several years traveling and teaching throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and England.
Exploring the world was an unforgettable adventure and I have much to share from my travels with my students. In addition to teaching in the Montessori classroom, I am also an internationally accredited yoga teacher-trainer and instructor and enjoy teaching violin and painting to young students. I love plants and animals, practicing yoga, exploring beautiful Arizona, and riding horses with my husband Theodor and our daughter, Eleanor.
