Statement

I have been teaching at Granite Bay Montessori for 19 years. I have taught grade levels first through eighth, and have taught a 1st-3rd grade classroom for the past nine years.  I absolutely love and believe in the Montessori education and our schools philosophy.  I never cease to be amazed at what my students can accomplish.  There is nothing more gratifying than seeing the "light" turn on in a students' eyes when they grasp something new! 

Interests

Interior painting (the inside of my house has taken on many colors), trail walking, shopping at the local teacher stores.
