Sabine was born in Utah and has spent much of her life here. While she is well traveled, she always feels a pull to family and her roots. She loves performing and anything to do with music. She has been around the Montessori environment most of her life, and it has always held her fascination. While she has never felt called to be in a classroom, she loves the children and the way that the Montessori program allows them to grow into their own skin and feel comfortable and confident in themselves.
