Faculty and Staff

Brittany first realized she had what it takes to be a teacher at the age of twelve when helping as a teachers assistant in the church Sunday school. In 2018 she went on to receive her Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education from Saint Martin's University (SMU) in Lacey, Washington. Shortly after starting her first teaching job in Washington in 2019, life threw her a happy curveball as the love of her life proposed, and not long after she moved to Florida to be with her new husband. Brittany has spent the last five years teaching in a Florida public elementary school setting, doing a little bit of everything, as she has taught grades Pre-k, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Trying this variety of grade levels has strengthened her knowledge of curriculum, grade level academic expectations, and pedagogy. Brittany also loves to learn about other cultures, which inspired an amazing 3-week trip to Japan in 2018. Additionally Brittany has an interest in teaching English as a second language, leading to her acquiring her Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate in 2023. The Waldorf way is relatively new to Brittany though she has found it resonates with her deeply and she is enthusiastic about learning and teaching in this style, especially since it closely echoes much of her own homeschool learning experience. Brittany's childhood as a homeschool student in the beautiful Pacific Northwest helped her develop passions for both foliage and fawna, conservation, and a strong community mindset. She is thrilled to be back on the west coast and has desperately missed real rugged hiking trails. Her hobbies include: exploring the outdoors, reading, singing, painting, and cooking. She is ecstatic about being able to integrate all of these interests into her teaching practices as a Waldorf inspired teacher.
