Integrating art and music into her teaching is an important part of Allie’s philosophy and style.  She relishes helping students express themselves, explore their creativity, and grow as they enjoy their school experiences. 

Before becoming a parent, Allie taught preschoolers in Oregon, and now that her daughter has started her public school life, Allie is excited to be back in the classroom, herself.  Critical to her approach is her dedication to treating everyone with kindness.  And she certainly shares her lively, joyful, and also patient approach with our students and fellow teachers. 

Allie enjoys reading, gardening, Pilates, and most of all, quality family time – including her special me-time walking her beloved dog, Minnie.
