What I Love About CMH:
EVERYTHING! From the moment I visited CMH as a Montessori Student at Xavier I knew that this was the place where I wanted to teach. The setting was so beautiful and peaceful (this was back in the barn days) and the students seemed so happy. Even after 12 years at CMH I still feel the same way. I love the Montessori philosophy and the way it is carried out at CMH.
My favorite things to do when I am not at work:
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, gardening, attending the theater, hiking and spending time in nature. I love listening to music (all kinds) and reading.
