Lovely to meet you!

Raised bilingually in Vienna, Austria (English and German), I always knew I wanted to work with young children. I love their spirit, refreshing honesty, and the possibility of making a difference in our future generation.

I am so grateful for the way I got to learn as a child. As a former Montessori student myself, I was able to experience schooling that used a nurturing and holistic approach.

With this specific educational philosophy, I had the opportunity to fall in love with language. I was able to explore and experiment in the sciences and was introduced to Mathematics in a way that did not trigger fear in me, but enabled me to be fascinated by its mechanics.

I want everyone to learn like this; I want people to experience learning as a never-ending journey of fascination and opportunity.

After completing my degrees in Early Childhood as well as Education, I followed my belief that living life to its fullest is the most diverse and engaging teacher. This started my 10-year journey around the globe, working in different capacities with children in New Zealand, Australia, England, France, Austria, and the United States of America.

Teaching in schools and also working with special needs children taught me an immeasurable amount about my students as well as myself. I eventually settled in San Francisco, California, where I studied AMI and received my Montessori teacher qualifications, and assisted with the opening of an excellent Montessori school there.

A few years ago, Europe came calling again, and Zurich became my new home. Shortly after, the dream of my own school — built on the experiences collected and the values and childhood magic I dreamed of sharing with our new generation — came true, and Serendipity Montessori was founded in Zollikon.

Families from as close as walking distance to as far as a 40-minute commute joined us and became part of a wonderful and vibrant community. We were beyond excited to open our doors at Trinity Montessori in Horgen in August 2024, further enriching the world of authentic, high-quality Montessori in Zurich.

The lifelong learner in me never rests, which is why, in addition to guiding children in their holistic development, I studied art therapy to learn how best to support children during difficult times.

I also received my Yoga teacher certification, expanding the ways I can support children's well-being and their connection to body and breath.
