I’m so excited to be returning for another year of discovery with Natural Learners! This is my fsixth year teaching. I enjoy sharing my love of nature, crafting, gardening, books, and community with my class. I’ve enjoyed previous careers as a part-time farmer, costume designer/technician, and zoo keeper! I like to travel with my family, watch and play sports, and snuggle with my cat, Uli.
Education

Hi everyone! I will be joining the Kazoo School community this fall as a preschool teacher! I graduated from Baker College with a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education. I am very much looking forward tWe are so happy to welcome her to Kazoo! With a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education from Baker College and loads of experience working with young children, she brings a wealth of knowledge, warmth, and enthusiasm to our Preschool program. This year, she joins Emmy in the Preschool, where she is excited to build on her years of teaching experience and get to know our youngest Kazoo Kids.
She has a wonderful understanding of young children and the many ways they learn, grow, play, and explore. We’re thrilled she’s here and can’t wait to see all the ways she will become part of the Kazoo community!
