Excited to collaborate with passionate educators at NEMTEC, Catherine advocates strongly for Montessori education. She began her Montessori journey as a parent and volunteer at Meeting House Montessori School in Braintree, MA. With nearly 24 years of experience teaching elementary-age children at MHMS, Catherine began as an assistant in Children’s House and rose to become a lead teacher and the Director of Elementary Education. She became interested in sharing her experiences and passion for Montessori education and began teaching Child Development at NEMTEC in 2010. Her journey includes a BA from Colby College and Montessori certification from the Seacoast Center. Prior to Montessori training she spent 15 years as a business owner, overseeing staff and training programs for seven locations. Proudly, she served as the first female president of the Cohasset Rotary Club and was an active executive board member of Northeast Fabricare Association. Outside of work, she cherishes time with family and friends, explores nature and delights in cooking for others.
