To inspire a love of learning through tactile, hands-on approaches to education in all areas, and to ensure each child in my care is met with love, acceptance, and respect in their schooling journey.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Watching a child have the same “aha!” moment I did as a Montessori student when discovering how to form and add complex numbers up to the thousands with Golden Beads - preschool children can do amazing things when given the tools needed to succeed!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to enroll in a Montessori Administration program and inevitably open a free or low-cost Montessori school in Middle Georgia to serve families who are unable to experience our philosophy due to income restrictions.
