My dream is to open a Montessori school so that my children can attend such an institution and grow into capable individuals at their own pace, fueled by curiosity and enthusiasm, while learning about community and peaceful coexistence. My vision is to make a school like this accessible to every child, regardless of their social background, in line with the principles of Maria Montessori.
Privat
I am 39 years old, born in Wattwil, SG, and raised in the beautiful canton of Graubünden, specifically Obersaxen. I currently reside in Adliswil with my family. I am married and a mother of two children.
professionally
I am a trained commercial clerk and have worked as a sole secretary at a sports center. I have also held the position of managing a ski and snowboard school with around 50 employees. Additionally, I am a certified fitness instructor with a Federal Diploma. Currently, I work as a personal trainer and nutrition coach. In June 2023, I successfully completed the Montessori Assistant Course 3-6 offered by the Association Montessori International (AMI).
Montessori
When my children were born, I began to explore different educational approaches, and that's when I discovered Montessori education. This pedagogy deeply resonated with me and captured my interest. I believe it is crucial for our children to be observed, nurtured in their strengths, and supported in their weaknesses, all at their own pace without pressure or grading. Our children are the future, and I am convinced that providing them with this kind of education is essential.
miscellaneous
I am a former competitive snowboardcross athlete, and sports greatly inspire me. I am passionate about fitness, tennis, skiing, snowboarding, and dancing, particularly Latin styles.
