A bit about me...

My 30 plus teaching career spans nursery through adult education. I am dedicated to slow growing our youngest ones and providing lots of opportunities and space for who they are in body, heart and mind to emerge. As kindergarten teacher, Waldorf education provides the best platform for this social, emotional and physical growth. In my 10th year at Sparrow Academy, aside from teaching kindergarten, I serve on our Board of Directors, hold book studies for my class parents, and delve deeply into best practices of teaching our various learners. Before Sparrow, I taught at a private Waldorf school and for San Diego Unified School District. I have a Waldorf Teaching Certificate, a CA Teaching Credential, and a Masters in Administration Education. Other interests include pizza making, recipe cooking, collaging, and the great outdoors. I love to read biographies and cookbooks. As a birth worker with 21 years as a certified birth educator, lactation educator, and doula, I have witnessed the first breath of some of our very own Sparrow students. My husband and I have a little dog and three daughters. Our girls attended a Waldorf School for their elementary education. That is why I found Waldorf! Waldorf works!
