With more than a decade of experience in early childhood and elementary education, I create learning experiences that help children become curious, capable, and increasingly independent thinkers. My background includes Montessori education, where I developed a strong foundation in hands-on, self-directed, and developmentally responsive learning. I also served as a lead curriculum developer at the Wellesley College Child Study Center, a laboratory preschool affiliated with our Psychology Department. My work emphasizes critical thinking, spatial reasoning, problem-solving, and the careful translation of research into engaging classroom practice.
