Annette is originally from New Zealand. She has taught for 20 years, from Grades 1-12 in both public and private schools. Annette discovered Waldorf education through her own children’s educational experience and felt inspired to study the teachings of Rudolf Steiner and become a Waldorf teacher. Her experience as a Waldorf teacher has inspired her love of art and painting and the desire to experiment with different artistic techniques.

Annette holds a Bachelor's of Arts in Geography from Massey University in New Zealand, which is also where she received her Waldorf teacher training diploma.

Annette recently took a class from 1st-8th grade at Swallowtail School.
