I am the parent of three Kazoo Kids. I have a Master’s in Social Work and have spent many years working with children who have experienced trauma. I also have ran children's programming in both Chicago and Detroit, and spent a year as the preschool teacher at Kazoo. I am passionate about progressive education and am excited to step into the role of Vice Head of School.

“Education is a journey, not a race.” – Rudolf Steiner

“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” – John Dewey

These two quotes are my inspiration as an educator. I believe that all children need an educational space where they can feel ownership, have their thoughts heard, and have their ideas respected. When you walk into a Kazoo classroom, you will often see teachers actively listening to the students; writing observations; listening to the connections the children make; and documenting the important learning that is happening.

Each child learns in their own way. The Kazoo School team feels it is our job to help each child be an intrinsically motivated learner, actively seeking knowledge. That, to us, is a Kazoo School kid.

I am a Kazoo School kid. My brother entered Kazoo School halfway through his Kindergarten year – the year of my birth. My earliest memories are of the Kazoo School community. My mom and stepdad met through Kazoo School. I have found in my life that all roads lead back, not to Rome, but to Kazoo School. Kazoo School is a wonderful place for families to grow and learn. Enjoy the journey!
