I’m a homeschool mom in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I love to spend day in and day out with my beautiful, crazy, perfect children, and to engage in educational projects in our communities. I’m currently helping my sister open a Microschool in St. Paul that will expand the Montessori approach to include more support of neurodivergent students. I’m also working on some Beast Academy fan fiction, I just ran a super fun Numberblocks virtual fan club, and I’m thinking about figuring out how to make simple iPad apps (again).

In the recent past, I’ve been a part-time math instructor at Augsburg University, and an MCGT CHOICES board member.

For fun I like to draw, play cello, re-organize, and play complicated board games. I’ve thoroughly studied both math and Montessori Education, and I love to discuss both. Pre-parenting I worked on the adaptive learning algorithm at Knewton, and I designed children’s robotics projects at the Brooklyn Robot Foundry.
