I have been working with children in Montessori environments for 12 years and hold a Bachelor of Arts and a Montessori 3-6 Diploma.
I believe in creating stimulating, strategically planned, and fun classrooms for children to learn. I also believe that everyone is unique with great potential to succeed and thrive. My goal is to support and nurture children’s strengths, helping them to find joy and peace while learning.
I am a mum of two wonderful and energetic children who have taught me how to be a better person and certainly a better teacher. They are the best teachers I know and my everything.
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking; I like to think that I am a good cook! I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family; we love the beach! I love music, dance, and arts in general. I am a plant enthusiast working hard to keep them alive and happy. Travelling is a big YES for our family. We enjoy exploring local culture and food. I value diversity and the beauty in every culture. I am originally from Brazil and, as a “Good Brazilian,” I love soccer, my favourite sport.
A good coffee always makes me smile.
