What do you teach at Brooksfield School? What is your educational background?
Toddler Head Teacher. I graduated from George Mason University with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education; however, I fell in love with the Montessori philosophy and subsequently completed the AMI training to become a certified Toddler Head Teacher.

What do you love about Brooksfield? Why do you like teaching at Brooksfield?
It is very family-oriented; everyone knows each other, including staff and families and staff and students across different classrooms. It’s a big family and everyone supports one another.

What sets Brooksfield apart from other Montessori schools?
The community and the extra love and care that teachers put towards their students. Everyone enjoys coming to work and sometimes coming to work on a bad day creates a happier day with all the hugs we get from our students.

Is there anything else you would like to share about yourself? Fun Fact?
I love to try new activities and learn to be more creative!
