Heather was born and raised in Southern Indiana. She spent her childhood playing in its woods and creeks, and now, as a mom, is so happy for her kids to do the same.

Heather has been a Montessori educator since 2011. She has a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education, Masters in Education with a Montessori Emphasis, and Montessori credentials for ages 3-12. She loves traveling and spent a year establishing a new Montessori school in Shanghai, China. Heather loves sharing her passion for outdoor Montessori education with adults and regularly presents at national conferences and universities.

When Heather’s not bringing her dream of a Montessori forest school to reality, you can find her on an outdoor adventure with her husband, Zach, and two young children, William and Hazel.
