Lia attended Waldorf Schools in California for 1st through 12th grade and came to this area through her work at Camphill Village Kimberton Hills.  She joined the faculty as a kindergarten assistant in 2011. Lia has a deep commitment and love for nutrition, food preparation, native plants, and fiber arts including spinning, knitting, and crocheting, and completed a 4-year Waldorf Teacher Fiber Arts Training.  Lia is also a beekeeper and Rosebud children often enjoy a little of Lia’s bees’ honey on their bread rolls.  Lia is an astute observer of children, lauded for her skill and care.  Lia is a rest time master and her quite steady manner harmonizes with the children and their environment.

FPO Waldorf Education gives students access to their fullness of imagination, intellect, and experience and makes them lifelong learners. My 12 years at Kimberton as a student were some of the best of my life, and I wanted my children to have that opportunity to learn and grow in a nurturing place.

FPO I have a background in teaching and I’m interested in supporting educational communities through Administration, Marketing, and Communication. Waldorf Education is still a well-kept secret in many ways and I’m very passionate about sharing how valuable it is and telling the story of KWS.

FPO I love the History through Art, Architecture, Music, and Poetry blocks that I took as a student, and I really enjoy watching new students go through the journey of those studies. They were some of the most impactful classes I ever took including my time in college and graduate school.
