I began working at MAC in November of 2006.  I am in the process of receiving my certificate from the Montessori Institute.  I currently hold an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice from Kaplan College and in the future I would love to get a bachelors in psychology.

“It is never enough for the teacher to love the child. She must first love and understand the universe. She must prepare herself and truly work at it.”
