"Like many of the teachers at our school, my children have been in Montessori School for most of their lives. As a family, Woodland Hill Montessori School is very important to us. It is a community my husband Jim and I care very much about, both professionally and personally. My Montessori background and varied experience as an educator provide me with a strong foundation for leading the school. Teaching a variety of age levels and experiencing how different schools operate has given me a broad perspective in my position at WHMS. I hope that you will provide me with feedback on how you feel our programs are operating. The more we contribute to the Woodland Hill community, the stronger we will be as a school."

- Susan
