Montessori School Of Rochester

read moreThe Montessori School of Rochester's mission is to nourish the child's spirit, while fostering exploration, independence, and confidence. We strive to inspire a lifelong love for learning, while modeling grace, courtesy, and respect for self, others, and the earth. Early education affects how children learn for the rest of their life. They grow and change at incredible rates before the age of six. When they feel capable and inspired, children learn to carry an optimistic attitude toward learning that affects how they approach challenges, problem solving, and critical thinking.

She lives in Rochester with her husband Paul and their three children, and was received with open arms by the MSR community when they moved here two years ago.

Ranging from a Teach for America corps member to teaching English in Thailand and currently working with Uncommon Schools as an instructional leader, she's eager to bring these experiences to the Board conversations.
