Anne joined Charlottesville Waldorf School in 2018 and brings 14 years of experience in Waldorf school settings. She has taught and developed Parent and Child programs in both California and Virginia, and at CWS has served as Parent and Child teacher, Office Manager, Enrollment Coordinator, and Early Childhood Department Chair. She also served on the Leadership Committee for several years and is passionate about parent education, facilitating parent groups on campus at the beginning of each school year. Anne will serve as CWS School Director beginning in the 2026–2027 school year.

Anne holds a B.A. in Anthropology and Geography from the University of Mary Washington and a Master’s degree in Cultural and Applied Anthropology from California State University, Long Beach. She completed her Waldorf Foundation Studies training in 2016 and continues to engage in ongoing professional development, most recently completing two multi-weekend Sunbridge Institute workshops: Creating, Implementing and Sustaining a Feedback Culture: Bringing Your Leadership Team to the Next Level of Collaboration and Performance, and HAWI: Building a Reciprocal Relationship with our Indigenous Communities.

Her broader professional focus has been in partnership with Indigenous communities. As a trained anthropologist and researcher, she has spent over 20 years working with Indigenous groups in cultural and language revitalization, grant writing, program development, and as co-lead of a federal recognition case. Her work has been in service to Indigenous needs and leadership, including collaborations with the Navajo Nation of Arizona, the Samoan and Pacific Islander community in the greater Los Angeles area, the Native American Rights Fund (NARF), and the Little Shell Chippewa Tribe of Montana.

Anne lives on a family farm in the Shenandoah Valley with her family. She has a son in college and a daughter in high school. Outside of school, she has completed yoga teacher training through Ivy Yoga School, volunteers with UVA’s “Hoo Needs a Hug” program, and enjoys attending her daughter’s theater and music performances. In her free time, she can often be found walking in the countryside or taking photographs on the farm.
