Meet the Seedlings Team
At Sunflower Seedlings, our educators work as Seedling Guides—co-teachers who collaborate to support each child’s growth, curiosity, and connection to the natural world—alongside Seedling Partners who help support the daily rhythm of the program.

Hi! I’m the Founding Guide of Sunflower Seedlings. I am someone who believes childhood should be spent getting messy and learning outside. I’m constantly inspired by the way children notice what adults miss like the veins of a leaf, the rhythm of raindrops, the way light shifts through branches.
Overcast skies, wind in my hair, and dirt under my nails bring me joy. I also enjoy finding treasures at thrift stores.
I’m currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education to continue deepening my practice with young learners. After years in different preschool settings, I finally built the kind of program I always wished existed, a small, outdoor space where kids can get dirty, try hard things, solve problems together, and where they can be their authentic selves.
