I am an associate Montessori Teacher at Sussex Montessori School.

Sowing the seeds of awe in the hearts and minds of young learners is the greatest thing I can do. My mission to impact positively on the world through young people has spanned 30 years as a high school teacher and continues today. I am passionate and positive about our future because I know the mindset of young people is radically different than the mindset of our current ruling generation. My job to help instill a deeper understanding and respect keeps me going every day.

Growing up, I lived on a farm and a family that uses conservation based practices. This inspired me to persue a degree in Environmental Science, and now I have a career in conservation as a resource technician! Taking the time outside of work to learn, conserve, and advocate for the environment is a deep passion of mine.

At Deer Hill, our mission is to empower individuals to create an authentic connection to self and community through wilderness and service experiences. We have been operating in the Southwest since 1984, rafting, canoeing, backpacking, and otherwise exploring. But what truly sets us apart is our element of cross-cultural service.
Over the past 30 years, we have been building relationships with families on the Navajo Nation and in Hopi and Zuni Pueblos. We believe that connecting our students with the folks whose land they're traversing is an incredible and necessary part of building a relationship with the land. Deer Hill's programs are built on the kind of intimate relationship with people and places that takes time and dedication to create.

I am an outdoor enthusiast who loves spending any time outdoors that I can. I enjoy time outside with friends or solo.
