Renée is a bilingual early childhood primary guide certified by both the Association Montessori International USA and the American Montessori Society. She has worked as a lead teacher since 2007. Born and raised in Mexico City, she witnessed grave social injustice from an early age. She became passionate about equality and justice, inspiring her to attend law school and pursue a career in international law. When she relocated to the United States in 2003, she volunteered and introduced art appreciation to elementary children in public schools. It was there she discovered the Montessori method and found her calling as a guide of young children in the primary classroom.
