Rainbow Mountain Second Grade Staff

Sheila has nine years teaching experience in both public and private schools, including four years teaching the middle grades at another private school in Asheville and directing her own preschool. Although her expertise is in Science and Math, she is a well-rounded individual who employs a lot of creativity and the arts into her teaching. Sheila has a talent for employing unique teaching strategies to actively engage students in a fascinating learning environment.  In particular, she loves to dance with children.

The roots of Sheila’s passion for teaching can be traced back to her childhood in Ohio, where camping with her family and attending summer camps led to a deep love of nature, family and community. Later, college summers spent as a camp counselor convinced her to change her major to Education.

Sheila holds a Bachelors of Science – Education degree from the University of Dayton. She feels blessed to be teaching at Rainbow Mountain, where she is excited to be working with such an enriched curriculum that she is able to create a smooth ebb and flow, thus achieving a beautiful rhythm for her students’ third grade experience.

During her free time, Sheila loves to paint, make jewelry, practice yoga, garden and entertain friends at home.
