Executive Director & Lead Guide

Association Montessori International Montessori Certified Teacher — Montessori Training Center of St.Louis 

I bring more than 19 years of experience guiding children through authentic Montessori education to Casa dei Bambini. I graduated from the University of Memphis with a Bachelor of Science in Education and hold a 3–6 Montessori diploma from the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). AMI upholds Dr. Montessori's original vision that every child carries within them the potential to develop independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. 

Over the years, working alongside so many wonderful children and their families has brought great joy to my life. These experiences have given me a strong foundation and deepened my love for the Montessori method, and I am excited to share that passion with the Casa dei Bambini community. 

I truly love nurturing and guiding each child, sparking a love of learning, and creating a warm, beautiful environment where children can thrive. I am especially passionate about building a sense of community in the classroom, because I believe it plays such an important role in each child's growth as a whole person. 

I live in Midtown Memphis with my husband and our two sons — both Montessori alumni.
