Career Highlights: 

Previously, I worked in the local agriculture scene doing regenerative vegetable production and animal husbandry at Gallatin Valley Botanical and Chico Hot Springs gardens. I have always been passionate about food; eating, baking, cooking, growing and raising it! Although I don’t have any Montessori training, I have my Master’s degree in Sustainable Food Systems from MSU. I hope to incorporate local, seasonal food into the current food program. I believe that good food choices begin when we start to eat food and hopefully I can show your little one how delicious food can be even if they haven’t tried it before. 


Things I am passionate about: 

Food, mindfulness and conservation


In my free time, I love to: 

 Be outside to hike, forage mushrooms, hunt, grow vegetables and flowers


When I was little, I loved to: 

Go camping and play in the lakes and rivers

“We can’t say enough good things about Bozeman Montessori. There’s a passion for education here – and a general expression of kindness – that really puts you at ease as a parent. It can be hard to leave children [during the day], and see them grow up, but the staff and director at Bozeman Montessori put so much effort into the Montessori Method, and the specific needs of each student, that I feel like our boys (ages 19 months and 3) are in the best hands possible. We consider ourselves lucky to have found this school, the wonderful staff, and the supportive parent community.”
