Anne grew up an only child in Seal Beach, California and attended Los Alamitos schools through high school.  During those years she pursued instruction in classical piano, acting, singing, and oil painting. She has always loved being with and caring for young children and began babysitting as a young teen.  During college she worked as a nanny and a public school teacher’s aide. Touring parts of the US and Europe as a vocalist with Continental Singers was a highlight as a young adult.  She graduated from CSULB with a BA in Liberal Studies and a minor in Speech Communications.  A year later she received her California Clear Teaching Credential.  Anne comes to Terra Arts with 25 years of classroom teaching experience in private Christian education.  She has taught Pre-K through 2^nd grades and spent many years as a reading support teacher for beginning readers.  Crafting, baking, home decorating, singing, reading, and traveling are just some of her personal interests.  She loves and feels blessed to share a home with her husband, Doug, of 33 years and her 2 grown sons, Brad and Justin.  

This year Anne will be our Kindergarten assistant & Theater assistant.
