EmilyIthaca Waldorf SchoolCOLLABORATE, COORDINATE, CONSULT!

With over 23 years of experience in Waldorf Schools both nationally and internationally, I'm excited to help schools navigate the accreditation process, surmount an administrative hurdle, or strategize next steps in their growth. I've served as a Board president, Development Coordinator, and School Director, in addition to working within the classroom as a World Language Teacher. My interest in this service stems from the gratitude I have as a Waldorf graduate, parent, and long-term employee within the pedagogical, administrative and Board realms. I look forward to working with you!
