I am overjoyed to join the family at Athena Montessori Academy. After meeting with Leadership and the Guides, I know this is a well-run organization and a great environment for both the children and their Guides.


Originally from North Carolina, I went to Houston and earned my Associate of Applied Science Degree as a Veterinary Technician. I have now been in the Austin area for eight years. Since early childhood, I felt a calling to work with children in a dynamic environment. After having children of my own, I jumped at the chance to become a trained Montessori Guide. I earned my AMS Certification for Infant and Toddlers at the Houston Montessori Center during the summer of 2015. After advanced experience in a Nido and Tots environment, I decided to expand my knowledge and work in a Primary classroom. I am thrilled to start the next chapter of my Montessori journey at Athena with the Primary age group, guiding your children to learn and thrive.


I have two boys, Harry, 7 and Waylon, 9, and a wonderful and supportive husband, Randy. I enjoy traveling, cooking and spending time with friends and family.


It is a privilege to be a part of the Athena Community. I look forward to working with your children.

Warm Regards,
Hilary
