As a parent of two children who attended Montessori in Motion and the wife of a former student, I am so grateful to be teaching art as a part of this amazing team!

I bring with me the diverse background of a bachelor’s degree in English Literature, a master’s degree in Business Administration and 15 years of experience in the high tech field. I am a certified teaching artist and have experience teaching art using various media and methods including ceramics, glasswork, drawing, painting, and collage along with a lifelong love of art and creative pastimes. I also lead the art program at Lowell and Skyline elementary schools in Tacoma. It is my joy to help develop an appreciation and a passion for art in each of the children.

In my free time I enjoy developing my skills as a potter, surfing, running, hiking, cooking, crafting, and hanging out with my family and our cats, Ozzie and Neah.
