Our Staff

I am originally from Salt Lake City, Utah. I have lived in Anchorage, Alaska most of my adult life. I moved to Idaho to be closer to my family. I have been teaching for 27 years, working in the Anchorage School District for 22 years. I have many years of experience in the classroom and worked as a social emotional health specialist. The gifted program was another experience I had in Alaska. I was also a teacher for 10 years in the Japanese Partial Immersion Second Language Program.  

I am truly excited to be at Monticello Montessori Charter School. I have always wanted to work in a Montessori program. I love working with the primary students. Everyone at this school has been so welcoming and nice. Thank you for allowing me to join your program and staff. I am excited to be here!
