About
A decade in Montessori education, seven years consulting for startup programs, and a background in publishing.
Founders are usually rich in passion and vision, but short on the operational know-how it takes to build a successful program from scratch. Established programs have the operational backbone, but often not the time or bandwidth to maintain it while running their day-to-day, connecting with parents, and supporting staff.
That's where I come in.
My background sits at the intersection of program leadership, operations, curriculum, and communications — a decade in Montessori education as a teacher and director, seven years of consulting for startup programs, plus a background in publishing.
I work with founders launching new programs to shape a raw idea into a workable plan, build everything a launch actually requires, and provide ongoing support once you're open.
I work with established programs to deliver ongoing operational and communications support — so the people doing the real work can stay focused on it.
I take on a small number of clients at a time, so the people I work with get real attention and fast responses.
01
Alcuin Montessori School
Rotating curriculum for 7th and 8th grade spanning all subjects, with unit and daily lesson plans for three core subjects — plus the program's record-keeping, evaluation, and parent-communication systems and documents.

Full curriculum for three age groups, supply ordering, classroom design, administrative systems, and faculty training for the first of what's now a franchised coworking-and-childcare business.

Current client
Build-out and management of the administrative, curriculum, communications, and promotional infrastructure for an early childcare program — turning concepts into organized, documented frameworks, introducing systematized parent communication, scaffolding for a new afterschool program, and grant writing.
