Village Director & Physical Education Teacher

My Education and Teaching/Professional Background

Bachelors of Early Childhood Education (K-6).

Year I Started at Walden

2013.

I am a Progressive Educator Because ...

There is no one size fits all model when it comes to learning. Every child is unique and learns in their own way. I believe children do their best learning when they explore, imagine, create, and ask questions. The process of learning by doing is at the heart of progressive education.

What I Love About Walden

I love that Walden believes social emotional learning is just as important as academic success.

My Joy

My joy is the outdoors!

Fun Fact About Me

My idea of a perfect day is walking around different towns with my family and trying local coffee shops.
