Hello! My name is Grace, and I’m thrilled to be joining the Cloud Forest School community as a first-grade teacher. While I am originally from New Jersey, I earned my teaching degree in New York, where I taught my 6th grade international students English as a New Language.

I have a deep love for reading, art, music, travel, spending time immersed in nature and with my family and friends. These passions inspire both my teaching and my way of life.

As I begin this exciting new chapter in Monteverde, I’m eager to connect with the vibrant local community and to learn from the rich culture and stunning environment that Costa Rica has to offer. I can’t wait to meet my students and grow alongside them in this incredible place!
