About Me:
I love to come to work each day in this beautiful, natural setting. Mountain School is a wonderful community where each child is known and cared for. My own two children attended Mountain School so I know how special it is to be here each day -- both as a parent and a teacher. In my spare time, I love to read, garden, sew and spend time with my very busy family! My favorite places to visit are Big Sur and Lake Tahoe.

Philosophy/Skills:
The tangible learning accomplishments and the animated, vivacious personalities that young learners possess creates an exciting and vigorous classroom environment! I believe each child has a special gift to offer and I always want every child to know that I believe in them. My goal is for my students to develop an intrinsic love of learning that will provide a solid foundation for the rest of their lives.
Goals:
I am a lifelong learner and love to go to school myself! I recently finished my Masters but have my sights set on someday earning my Doctorate. I hope I never have to stop going to school! My goal each day is to share my love of learning with my students.
