Her cat, who is accustomed to living on a farm, is not sure this is a better place and requires being walked on a leash at regular intervals to keep him happy.
Mrs. Roberts knew she would enjoy teaching when she was chosen as a star tutor in fifth grade. As a star tutor, Mrs. Roberts helped a kindergarten student in reading and math. She fell in love with helping students, and from that point on, Mrs. Roberts knew teaching would be a wonderful career choice. Before joining Montessori Visions Academy, Mrs. Roberts taught in grades K-5th for the Clark County School District and tutored students at Sylvan Learning Center. She continued working at Sylvan as an Associate Director of Education until she was given the opportunity at MVA to do what she really loves – teaching children. Mrs. Roberts is a licensed teacher with a bachelors degree as well as being a certified Montessori elementary teacher. When not teaching at MVA, Mrs. Roberts enjoys spending time with her husband, Michael, two kittens, Garfield and Callie, and hedgehog, Prickles. Mrs. Roberts’ hobbies include hiking at Mt. Charleston, reading mystery novels, cooking, and yoga.
