Amanda is a native Oregonian and grew up in Lake Oswego. Her love of working with children guided her to work in the school district she attended as a child, even working with some of her former teachers. There, her focus was in the area of Special Education for the Lake Oswego School district, where she worked for 17 years. Amanda, her husband, and two children decided to change scenery and move to Utah in November 2020. As lovers of the outdoors, they settled right in. Going on family hikes, enjoying local farmers markets, and exploring new places are their favorite things to do together. Amanda began her Montessori journey at MCS in the fall of 2021, bringing a wealth of knowledge and passion for teaching social emotional learning to her role as Student Support Coordinator. Amanda is inspired by the Montessori philosophy and enjoys working with and learning from kids of all ages.
