Miss Rowan was born in and studied in Michigan, but didn’t enjoy being frozen, so she decided to teach abroad in Taiwan. She taught English there for a year, where she found her love of teaching, but needed a change of topic.

After Taiwan, Miss Rowan decided to teach math for two years in Denver. But true to the goldilocks story, Denver was too hot. But California was just right! Miss Rowan saw the EBSB statement, curriculum, and community, and knew that it was the right place for her.

Miss Rowan loves a lot of hands-on AND imagination related activities, including; sculpting, video games, wood-working, martial arts, and - possibly her favorite hobby - DND!! Miss Rowan’s favorite part of teaching is being able to incorporate some of these (and other) activities into her classes, because she believes that learning is - and should be seen as - fun!
