This is my first year at Primavera. My family and I moved here from northwest Arkansas, where I taught Upper Elementary at a Montessori school in Bentonville. I have 2 children in the Elementary program at Primavera: Ivy, who is 8, and Gage, who is 10. My husband Greg teaches 8th grade science at Trinity Episcopal School. I graduated from Texas A&M University with a B.A. in English. I obtained my Primary Montessori training through the Maria Montessori Training Center, an American Montessori Society (AMS) affiliate; and my Elementary training through the Houston Montessori Center (also AMS). I have experience teaching high school English and American History, Montessori middle school, and all levels of Montessori elementary. I love to travel, and spent several years in my 20s traveling around the USA. I lived in France for a year, and I am also a certified yoga teacher. I like to camp, hike, read, go on bike rides, and play Bananagrams.

I am so happy to have landed at Primavera! I came to Primavera through friends: my husband taught years ago with Deborah Way-Salinas and Gail Allen at The Montessori Center, and we have kept in touch through the years. I love the commitment to peace education and beautiful communication, and I feel totally supported here. I am happy to teach at a school that honors the earth and the child. The respect and love that radiate through the Primavera campuses are truly beautiful.
