Personalized and reflective learning has been my passion since I was a child, and it is a joy to share that passion with students, families, and colleagues. The philosophy of education that we embody at Bellwether is in-line with my idealistic notions of what education can be. 

I've taught in public elementary schools, independent schools and in an alternative high school program. My diverse background in teaching and educational leadership has led me to cherish the type of collaboration and discovery that is available at Bellwether School. I love being at Bellwether because I love childhood. Participating in the lives of preschool and elementary aged students gives me inspiration and hope. Working with a team of highly skilled educators who are also inspired by the importance of childhood is a dream come true.

Laura has been teaching at Bellwether for six years. While her primary position is teaching in our Preschool Classroom, she has also served as art teacher and shares her musical gifts both in the classroom and in support of our community celebrations. Laura has been an educator for more than 20 years, teaching in both public and private school settings.

Laura is committed to educating the whole child and believes that relationship is the key to opening the door to learning. She is passionate about the social-emotional learning of children and feels that this is the most important work of the young child.

When she is not teaching, Laura enjoys cooking delicious food for her family and friends, cuddling by the woodstove with her two cats, and listening to music. She is an avid gardener and loves to spend time in nature.
