For the past 13 years, I have dedicated my career to working with young children. I received a Master's degree in Education from UW, meanwhile completed  AMS credentials for 0-3 years old and 3-6 years old. There is so much to learn about children beyond Montessori philosophy. Therefore, I finished training and obtained the WA State Early Childhood Education Certification (Proficiency Level) and Positive Discipline training for Educators. I Also have completed an Early Childhood Leadership Certificate at the Havard Saul Zaentz Initiative to enhance my ECE leadership skills. During my leisure time, I love to spend time with my family, dance & work out. I have finished 200 hours of yoga teacher training, received young children's yoga teaching certification, and passed RAD Ballet Intermediate level (Merit).

I was born and raised in Washington State finished my master’s degree in Education and International Development at UW and have 8 years of experience working in education. I am an EMA Early Achievers' Coach with Child Care Resources (BrightSpark). I have been passionate about education for as long as I can remember. I will employ evidence-based coaching tools to provide valuable guidance and support to EMA's early learning staff, facilitating their employee development fostering an environment of continuous improvement, and maintaining EMA's high-quality early learning programs. I look forward to working together with EMA.

 I earned my Montessori teacher Certificate in 2019 and worked as a bilingual Montessori teacher for several years. I graduated from Beijing Normal University with a master’s degree in law. My two boys both studied in Montessori school before entering into elementary school. I have a passion for being a Montessori teacher. The Montessori philosophy is a systematic approach to education that draws on the child’s natural development, independence, and confidence and is designed to allow each child to move at his or her own pace.This is why I am so passionate about the Montessori methodologies. There are so many teaching experiences I would love to share

I am excited to join Evergreen Montessori Academy and being a part of this warm family.

I am originally from the Philippines, where I studied Mass Communication in college. I moved to the US in 2009, first living in Florida and later to the beautiful state of Washington in 2012.
I started working at a local Montessori school in 2015 and completed my AMS Montessori Certificate in 2019 to become a lead teacher. I remained there for over nine years; however, I found the EMA philosophies and atmosphere inspiring and moving, motivating me to make a change.
A Montessori classroom provides the ideal environment for children to learn and grow. I strongly believe in empowering children to be independent, self-directed learners, or, in Maria Montessori’s words, “We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself.”

I have completed a Master's degree in Education, Economics, and Business Administration with a passion for early childhood development. I have been dedicated to this field in India since 2007.

My commitment to fostering positive learning environments and enhancing educational experiences for young minds continuously motivates me to work with them. In the USA, I have been working in early childhood since 2020 and have completed CDA specializing in infants and toddlers. I have a passion for pursuing the Montessori certification, and I am excited to work at EMA, which will help to further my educational pursuits. I look forward to working with each of you in caring for your little ones.
 

I am Originally from the state of Missouri and trained Violinist. I started my adventure of working with children in 2013 and have been a lead toddler teacher for the past 4 years. In my continuous pursuit of knowledge on subjects that fascinate me, I am currently working on my Montessori Certification! Forming a solid bond and sense of trust with each child as an individual is very important to my teaching and care philosophy as learning happens best in an encouraging and safe environment. I am passionate about the Whole Child Approach and facilitating play and interest-based learning, promoting independence and celebrating as real-world skills and connections form through it. 

I’ve been working at EMA for three years and have a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. After graduating, I started as a toddler lead teacher at Childcare Center.
