Professional Experience
Before deciding to be a Waldorf Teacher, I was an International Accounts Executive in the Health Insurance industry.  Probably like many of you, I came to be interested in Waldorf Education after the birth of my son Ethan in 2003. I left the insurance industry as I was tired of the constant travel, and I felt I needed to pursue a career more in line with my values.  I have been teaching in various capacities over the past few years as a specialty teacher and substitute teacher in both the public schools and at Madison Waldorf.
