I am a certified Montessori educator with more than 20 years of experience in early childhood education.

I currently live in Chapel Hill with my wonderful husband, who is incredibly helpful around the farm, our two amazing children, and our dog Willow.

While living in Florida, I had the privilege of co-running the Montessori School of North Miami, a school founded by my mother, Evelyn Lopez. That experience deepened my love for child-led learning and strengthened my belief that every child is naturally capable of learning when education is nurtured rather than pushed.

One of the biggest reasons for moving from Miami was my deep belief in the importance of children spending meaningful time outdoors. Nature has always been at the heart of the way I envision learning. This passion led me to open Wild Sage Farm and Learning House — a place where education and the natural world come together in a meaningful and inspiring way.

I have a true love for blending nature with learning, while also embracing the artistic and creative beauty of Waldorf-inspired education. I believe that time spent gardening, caring for farm animals, and exploring the outdoors is truly priceless, offering children rich opportunities to grow, discover, and learn in ways that last a lifetime.
