Hello!

I have been working in education since 2010, spending 7 years of my career as the Director of a Preschool in the Portland area. I am eager to embark on our second year of Natural Art of Play!

​

My philosophy is rooted in play with a commitment to respectful and responsive caregiving, nurturing a community of joyful learners. 

​

Through my years of working with young children, I have seen first-hand the magic of spending time outdoors, the joyful ownership that comes with freely creating art and the unrivaled power of play.

​

In my free time, you can find me nurturing my own spirit in nature! I fill my days with as much time playing & creating as I can. 

I couldn’t be more excited to be back in my hometown of Salem. Thank you for welcoming my nature school into our community!
