Before working with The Treehouse: A Forest Garden School, I provided private childcare for five years as a nanny. During this time, I had the opportunity to work with many wonderful children and families. I was often encouraged by parents to pursue a career in education, though I could never see myself teaching in a traditional classroom setting.

​

When I learned of The Treehouse: A Forest Garden School shortly after moving to Oregon from Massachusetts, I was delighted to find a program whose values align so closely with my own. I began diving into independent research on Waldorf education and RIE philosophy. I quickly learned that working in this kind of environment was the path I wanted to take. I have great admiration for The Treehouse's dedication to creating a space for children to explore, learn, play, gain confidence, and challenge themselves in a safe and supportive environment.

​

My passions outside of childcare include crocheting, gardening, cooking, finding new beautiful places to explore with my fiancé, and accommodating our little black cat who constantly demands to be carried like a baby. I am also a student, working toward a degree in Behavioral and Social Sciences. Mostly, I value learning and growing - something I am confident I will always have the opportunity to do here. I am so very honored and excited to be welcomed into the Treehouse community.
