Emily grew up close by to Annapolis, MD, and moved to Denver about a year and a half ago in order to pursue a career in Montessori education. Her background is within the medical field, but she has always loved working with kids, and wanted to be able to focus more on helping them learn and thrive in an educational setting. She has had experience tutoring children from elementary school through high school, and has completed a traditional preschool teacher training program, where she first learned about and became fascinated by the Montessori approach. She has worked as an assistant for the past two school years in a Montessori primary classroom and is looking forward to assisting in the lower elementary setting for this upcoming year. Emily loves spending time in nature, working on different art projects, playing piano, and learning more about her faith. She is looking forward to teaching in a Catholic setting and learning more about the Byzantine Rite traditions.
